Liberals don't understand the concept of a capitalist based economy. They really do think money grows on trees and the evil wealthy are the only ones who have access to these trees. If the min wage increase is passed into law watch how economy reacts. Look for an increase in unemployment and look for small businesses to decline. You just can't force businesses to pay someone more than they're worth and not have any repercussions. As the minimum wage increases don't you think those that are making a bit more than the minimum wage are going to want an increase as well? Varus
