It's hilarious...hi larious that someone views providing everyone basic healthcare or higher minimum wage as a socialist value, yet they see it perfectly alright to use our tax $ to bail farmers and banks out...they see it perfectly fine to give big corps bigger tax breaks.
People and companies complain that by increasing minimum wage to even $12, costs will drive up. Well, costs has increased all these years, but minimum wage barely did. Being a business owner ourselves, we already are paying above the minimum - albeit, we employ less than 3 people. Sure, we'll possibly encounter losing our employees to other jobs that requires less work and same pay, but we're fine with that, because it means our elders, friends, and family are also getting a higher pay.
