Take raising the minimum wage for instance. Seattle just did that - TopicsExpress



          

Take raising the minimum wage for instance. Seattle just did that and their economy isnt falling into the pacific ocean, in fact, their city is enjoying an economic renaissance. As Hanauer states in his article the two big cities with the highest minimum wages are San Francisco and Seattle. The two cities with the largest small business job growth are also San Fran and Seattle. If raising wages HURTS workers why are the cities and states that are raising the minimum wage prospering while states that are stuck in ZombieReaganland lagging behind the rest of the country? Its simple, economic growth is meaningless when 95% of the growth goes to that one rich guy, and eventually the other 99% of us figure it out and either shit changes for the better for us or the pitchforks come out.
