The effects of raising the minimum wage had the exact repercussions I said it would. This was proven in DC when multiple retailers threatened to stop construction or change plans on opening new stores and increasing the local labor force in the area.

Whether a single city or the national stage, the results would be the same!

What good is higher wages when there are no jobs to earn them?

I wonder if the idiots get it yet? WE'RE IN A RECESSION! Regardless of the cause, or crony capitalism and corruption being at fault, it is the large corps that have the jobs!
