 Washington already has the nation's highest state minimum wage at $9.19 an hour. Now, there's a push in Seattle, at least, to make it $15.

That would mean fast food workers, retail clerks, baristas and other minimum wage workers would get what protesters demanded when they shut down a handful of city restaurants in May and others called for when they demonstrated nationwide in July.

If their demand is to shut down restaurants they'll get their wish if this passes.

This right-wing alarmism is mind-numbing.

Low income workers spend their money in the private sector the same as their middle and upper class counter parts. That's demand, which fuels employment. If you don't believe that; into what black hole does the income of poor people go in your model?

the price/wage spiral.
