This will kill small business in this country and our newly elected overlords don't care. Besides, if you were previously making $15 an hour or slightly more slightly less and the person that was making $9 an hour just got a huge raise, don't you think you would want one too - or simply take the unskilled job until the pay rose for your current job? This is beyond dumb. Someone working in Manhattan NY should not make the same amount as someone in Loose Creek MO.
