If one has not ever run a business they have no practical insight into what it takes to make it a profitable entity.
Treating the subject of of making a maximum wage out of a minimum wage is an intellectual exercise disconnected from the reality of actual practice.
Small businesses that constitute the largest employers in the aggrigate would have a large number of them "closing their doors" if the minimum wage becomes $15.00 per hour. Some small business owners aspire to reach $15 per hour for their time.
How about a standard per hour rate of $5 per hour with the federal government subsidizing ANY amount over $5......only after putting it on a ballot and having it approved by the voters who will be voting to pay more taxes to make it work.
Pretty much like many of the programs in place already!!!
