    This is just for show and will end up going nowhere. If you think this has even a remote chance at changing the minimum wage then I have a bridge to sell you.

    We live in a time where democrats do nothing but act appalled, corporations control politics, corporations keep getting bigger, consumer prices increase year after year, healthcare premiums constantly cost more and employee benefits keep getting more expensive every year. What gives you the idea corporations are going to let politicians triple minimum wage? If that happens it will have a ripple effect where higher paying job positions will want a raise because why should someone making an entry level wage be paid the same as a job position with a lot more responsibility?

      Not just that but if it passed it would eat into profits. We can’t have that, think of the shareholders

        Profits are already eaten up by executive bonuses and salaries.

        It’s regular salaries that eat into those, and that’s what they’re trying to protect.
