we should call their bluff and raise them-new minimum wage: $20/hr or nothing at all. They would shiite themselves.
Piker...I've had thoughts about running for Congress in 2016. My platform would include raising the minimum wage to $30/hour. The rest of my platform would be derived from Directive 10-289. Heck, Obama's doing it as we speak, witness his latest directive on fuel efficiency of big rig trucks.
I would lose for sure, but I'd have fun doing it.
