SEATTLE RAISES THE MINIMUM WAGE TO $15 AN HOUR

Does anyone really think the government can do anything to improve their lot in life. Milton Friedman said if you put the government in charge of the Sahara it would run out of sand in five years. If the government can mandate wages what can't it mandate? Whatever happened to freedom to contract and freedom of association?

Watch all the goody-two-shoes progressives mince their words as small businesses close down or flee Seattle. This should be interesting. 

One thing for sure about raising the minimum wage ... it all sounds good if you pretend ignorance is bliss. 

There will be some politicians bragging on their websites and resumes that they helped raise the minimum wage even if you are unemployed or have to pay $10 for a cup of coffee.
