Howdy Tom, I agree. Not sure where they plucked the $15 bucks an hour number. I was speaking to pop the other day and he was dead set against a minimum wage, sez it raises prices for everyone. But those 14 people who's income increased by 157 billion over the past few years...that doesn't affect prices...nosireee.....
