@Max000:
Businesses want to maintain the same profit margin. So if their labor costs (or any other cost) go up, their prices will also go up. Plain and simple business 101.
Here in Oregon, we have a minimum wage tied to inflation. every jan 1st, it goes up a bit. And in turn, every jan 1st, fast food prices go up a bit more. Happens every year.
To think a place paying minimum wage is going to raise wages without raising prices is pure delusion.

A $15 minimum wage would most certainly spike all fast food prices.
I don't gamble, but on this one, I'd wager a million dollars.

I belive the same thing but I'd rather pay a little more so that there workers could make ends meet without having to rely on tax-payer funded benefits.
If minimum-wage goes up more people could afford to eat fast-food so those places may get more customers espessically if they don't raise their prices but buisnesses don't think that way usually.

A $15 minimum wage would put a lot of money in the hands of working people who would spend it. Which would stimulate the economy.

Our problems is not that the poor are making too much money. Our problem is that rich keep getting richer, and the poor keep getting poorer. Profits are too high, and wages are too low.
