The $15 minimum wage is an "extremist" position that Bernie adopted. His position has been lambasted by every bozo economist on the take, as well as brainwashed right wingers.
Seattle passed the $15 minimum several years ago and their economy is booming. California, New York, Oregon and other municipalities have realized the increase is inevitable and healthy, so they followed suit.
The godfather of wall street, Asher Edelman, explains why increasing minimum wage is crucial for a thriving economy. Quite simple. Velocity of money. $1 in the hands of a minimum wage employee is spent in it's entirety, while only 5 cents of that same $1 in McDonald's hands is recycled in the economy. This concept is fully understood by all economists, and people with their heads free from their asses. Only the oligarchs paint this issue negatively.
So this extremist position is being adopted across the country. There's Hillary Clinton on stage with Mario Cuomo and celebrating this great day for workers. It was a few months ago when she proclaimed a national $15 minimum wage “will NEVER happen!"
This issue wraps up the stupidity of low information republicans, the influence of Bernie and the two-faced nature of Hillary Clinton.
