All true points, but the worst of all will be the TRUE minimum wage people (not retired people, teens, and others only working for "extras" in their lives) whose wages will be raised to $15 per hour, they are the real losers in this. Others will some how be able to absorb it, but this will only push that class of workers even further down and out of the lower end of the "middle class". It's a shame, a healthy thriving country is one that EXPANDS the "middle class". It will hurt everyone a little, it will hurt the lowest paid among us the hardest. It's sad. I did notice an extremely wealthy Florida resident, one who has pushed so many "progressive" ideas about drug legalization, and others was a powerful force behind this. It was obviously the desire of the majority of Floridians, so, I guess those of us who think it will do more damage than good will just have to wait and see !
