...Because I know that the position they are working pays minimum wage in my area. Are you just trolling now? Some of them may have been around long enough to earn small raises, but nobody in central Kentucky gets $15 an hour to flip burgers or ring up gas or gather shopping carts.

I live in ND, we have a bit of an economic boom going. I'm not trolling, but you seem to miss the point of a lot of commentators on this post that minimum wage changes are not an answer and only a feel good measure for people who don't take the time to look at the economy. It sounds good, but will have all sorts of backlash. Its a bad idea and treating the symptom, poorly.
