No, because we have lazy sons of a dog of people who slack off and procrastinate and not do anything while working. I think that's a little high for minimum wage, because the average wage for teachers in Oklahoma city is around 15 dollars an hour, while they actually do work and people who work at McDonald's I think shouldn't get that pay.

I believe in raising the minimum wage, but not by a drastic amount to $15 an hour. That would cause unemployment and boost the number of people in poverty, and it would increase homelessness. It would shutter many businesses, forcing them to cut hours and raise prices, which would decrease traffic to said businesses, leading to workforce cuts and possibly businesses closing their doors for good.

I favor raising the minimum wage, but $15 an hour is too much of a hike for entry-level jobs. It will lead to mass unemployment and many mom-and-pop businesses shutting their doors, or at the very least cutting employee hours, cutting jobs, or raising prices, which will lead to the other two options.
