“Raising wages increases prices and kills jobs!”

Bullshit.

2 employees, making the current minimum wage. So lets say one gets a raise to $15 and the other gets let go.

The first employee now has more disposable income to use purchasing goods and services. He’s not just going to sit on the money, he’s going to spend it on his family.

Businesses looking to fill the increase in demand are going to expand, hiring employees so they can cash in. Employee 2 gets a new job.

Is that so fucking hard to understand?
