Ugh. Not enough. The min. wage should be $15 at the least but all we are going to hear is "praise Money-Jesus the invisible hand has saved us all again!"
I didn't know you hated small businesses.
I didn't know your grasp of economics was that...well...loose.
Small businesses can't afford such a high wage without damaging themselves, and everything would also become more expensive as more money means higher prices.
Small business that can't afford to pay their employees a living wage? Damn right, I hate them. They shouldn't be in business.
Similarly, if you can find a big corporation who pays their people fairly, I will be happy to support them.
I support businesses based on their overall business practices, not their size.
Why would anyone think a business being "small" is inherently a good thing? It doesn't tell you anything.
