Min wage jobs in the US are service jobs like fast food that DO NOT compete with the third world and where the cost of labor is not most of the cost, so no one is going out of business for raising the cost of a hamburger 25 cents. Are you going to buy hamburgers from China? No, you won’t even notice the difference when they raise the price.

Also, on a similar note, the CEO of Whole Foods needs to be replaced for whining that his company can’t afford health care because it would make them raise costs:
1) they’ve never competed on price and never will. Shopping at Whole Foods costs 4 times what the cheapest markets do already.

2) their customers are liberal yuppies who buy fair trade, environmentally sustainable, organic coffee and would be overjoyed to know that they’re paying a little extra to make sure that the employees where they buy food have health care.

The fucker needs to be fired.
