Most places with a lower minimum also have a lower COL. Having the same rate everywhere simply doesn't make sense unless costs are the same everywhere.

Yes, to $20.

The super-rich do not need every cent of their money, and "trickle-down" obviously doesn't work. Taxes on those who make almost half-a-million per year [and above] should be raised sharply.

Give more money as minimum pay to the people who are actually in need of money. Tough shit for anyone who inherited massive amounts of money, as they already have it much better than most.

Which is an utterly moronic stance given that countless employers aren't "super-rich" and it would put them out of business. As it is, I know plenty of owner-operators who work at least 6 days a week because they can't afford more than one employee to cover the rest of the time. (And, I might add, repealing CT's blue laws, for instance, was a major slap in the face to small owners while a rimjob to grocers.)

Ideally, minimum wage should at the very least be $40 an hour... but that's not happening anytime soon, I'll bet.

See, I mistook your first post as being serious. Now I realize you're just having a lark.

It's a lot better than the rich just getting a lot richer.
