Quote:It's so painfully obvious you've never owned, operated or probably known an individual to run a small business.

This is not directed at anyone in particular, I am just curious.

 

It seems to me the majority of conservatives against raising minimum wage are implying that cheap, poverty line level wages, are a prerequisite to having a successful business. That they cannot compete in the open market without cheap wages or the prices for goods/services will skyrocket. The way I see it is that this is only the outcome if you want maintain the same profit margins. Would it really cause businesses to make no profits and close down?
