Would you support a $15 an hour minimum wage?

No way. It won't do me much good if I don't have a job, and it'll make finding someone who's willing to hire me that much harder.

Yes.  Cut taxes for small businesses so that they don't loose revenue.  And penalize all large corporations that lay off workers as a result of the minimum wage hike.

So you'd rather they cut hours?

No.  Cut the salaries of CEO's.

There isn't going to be nearly enough there in most cases.

In cases where it isn't, then there should be exemptions, but if the management of large corporations and the profits the corporations turn up are both cut, then $15/hour wages would be perfectly reasonable w/o layoffs.

So it's okay for them to lay off managers? Even if so, if you don't have good management in these stores, they'll lose business - which lead to layoffs.  If you make regulations, you're going to have to live with the results of those regulations one way or the other.
What you are basically proposing is to make it harder for a business to be successful and then punishing them for being less successful.

No, I am merely proposing that they be afforded the same pay as their workers.  Shocking concept.

It's shocking someone would assume they can make such a radical change in their business model without any disruption to employment.
