It seems like your take supports Hillary's point, which is that $15/hr should come to places that already have high cost of living (NY, SF, LA) and for everyone else, the minimum wage should rise gradually. The economy in places like WV, MS, ND etc is already ****** enough as it is. Raising the cost of doing business is simply going to sink those places into the abyss.
That's why I have such a hard time understanding the views of people who agree with Bernie, that nationally, minimum wage should be $15. I think it should be a state/local issue. Set a higher national floor (Maybe 10 or 12) and then let the states figure out if they need to go beyond that.
