Your spelling and grammar skills are on par with your logical thinking
skills. The USA is far different now than it was fifty years ago, including
a much larger population and a wider gap between the haves and the
have-nots. And all those republican businesses moving
their labor off-shore over the past four decades.

You certainly will not help that situation by legislating an
artificially high wage to jobs that do not provide that level of
return for the business.
All you are doing is assuring that unskilled labor will be replaced by
more machines.

Agree that $15 is too high for some jobs but $7.25 is slave wages and
has not kept up with inflation.

You need balance. If you want to keep jobs in the USA you have to pay
enough for people to buy the products we make.
