SEATTLE (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court weighed in for the first time Monday on a $15-an-hour minimum wage, signaling it does not plan to stop the movement that is spreading across the nation, worker advocates say.
The justices refused to hear a challenge to Seattle's law, which franchise owners said discriminates against them by treating them as large businesses. It comes as several other cities and a group of states, including California and New York, have started to phase in a $15 minimum wage in recent months as the cost of living keeps rising.
Leave it to the Ninth Circus for yet another bullshyte ruling. And it doesn't matter how "you see it" Liberals are economic waifs, period.Good decision. The way I see it, if McDonald's full time employees are collecting food stamps, they are not being lazy. McDonald's is stealing money from the taxpayers instead. But McDonald's can no longer do it in many cities and in some states. The Ninth Circuit Court decision stands.

Yep, now they will be in the unemployment line.
Nope. Your wish just didn't happen....
Hah, $10-11 an hr is not quite $15. Jump from 9 to 15. Then see what happens.
Starting one year ago, Seattle employers were required to pay $10 or $11 per hour, depending on the number of employees. As of Jan. 1, the minimum went up to $10.50 to $13 per hour, depending on head count and whether employees receive tips or benefits.

From the article I linked to in post number 8........
Almost there, and the sky has yet to fall.

It's been 4 months at 13, and you missed my point. Jump from 9 straight to 15. What small business can support that?
There aren't many small businesses than can support $13.
They seem to be doing quite well, and haven't raised their prices much either.
Let's make it 50 bucks, then.
Have you ever heard of elasticity? A small increase can increase wages while only having a light price increase making the wage beneficial but if it is raised too much prices will increase faster than wages.
You flame that $15 has zero effect. Of that's so, then there's enough elasticity for an increase to $50. Unless, the whole notion that $15 not having any effect is a lie. Is it?
So no, you don't know what elasticity is.

Corporations are paying wages that don't support a quality life, while relying on American taxpayers to support their workers through tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Credit, as well as Medicaid and so on.
I'd rather pay lower taxes and pay more for a burger from someone earning a living wage.
