if a business actually did close for that reason, how would anyone ever know?
it would be covered by glenn beck, rush limbaugh, ann coulter, laura ingraham, and fox news more extensively than benghazi.

because it's your fucking theory.
your unsubstantiated, anecdotal, never-happens-in-the-real-world theory.

The Average Income for Fast Food Franchise Owners.
by Rick Suttle, Demand Media
Owning a fast food franchise can take a significant investment, and many owners work 60 or 70 hours per week when starting out. Some even go on to purchase additional franchises, once they have their restaurants operating efficiently with experienced managers. Fast food franchise owners oversee all operations of their restaurants, including food preparation, customer service, inventory and storage. They also closely manage their labor and food costs to maximize profits. These franchise owners earn incomes averaging just below $50,000.
Income by Region:
In 2013, average incomes for fast food franchise owners varied somewhat among the four U.S. regions. In the South, they earned the highest incomes of $56,000 in Washington, D.C., and the lowest of $40,000 in Louisiana, according to Indeed. Those in the Midwest made $35,000 to $51,000 in South Dakota and Illinois, respectively. These franchise owners earned $32,000 to $51,000 in Hawaii and California, respectively, the lowest and highest incomes in the West. In the Northeast, they made the most in New York and the least in Maine -- $57,000 and $40,000, respectively.

Now, let's see one of you faux entrepreneurs figure out where all this money to cover a $15 hr minimum wage is going to come from.
Except businesses don't generally announce why they're closing. That's my point. There are probably 100,000+ business failures (at least) in this country every single year, almost none of them with detailed--and nevermind honest--explanations. With that said, it seems quite silly to demand that examples be named.
*actually they do when surrendering tax id numbers or filing last return.
I think increases in the minimum wage come at the customer's expense, in the form of higher prices, inferior service, etc. I suspect many of the "gains" to minimum wage workers are erased by higher prices.
name one business that has ever had to close its doors to a minimum wage increase.
all i need is one example to validate your theory and hypotheticals. otherwise, without actual examples, that is all you have: theory. talking points that are so deluded that they never happen in the real world.
...the fuck are you talking about?
First of all I am sure thousands of businesses close their doors yearly because of unforeseen cost increases, it's a pretty big killer.

It's beyond silly it's his childish nature. Everyone knows the large majority of business closes are do to cost increases. This isn't rocket science, I want to know how he expects to double salaries for all employees when the owner is only making a 50k profit. It's fucking retarded.
2006-2009, united states of america.
minimum wage goes up 40%, the big mac goes up 15%. check the BLS for other commodities: milk, eggs, bread, etc. and you will see that none of them climbed as quick as wages did.
this is some simple, simple stuff for someone who went to a "top national university". hell, i'm an ASU dropout and it's common sense to me.
now all you need is one single example to back up what you say.
until then, all you have are republican talking points.
i'm not here to school you..google it.
Do I need to show you that cost increases cause business to fail child? Do I?
You didn't bother to look at the data on those commodity prices, did you Buck?You will see that the prices of milk, eggs, and bread skyrocketed after the minimum wage increase, at least until we hit the financial crisis.
i'll let her speak for herself, but i think her point is that it would have to go up 50% to reach $15 because our current minimum wage is so low and does not support a basic existence.
unless, of course, you have a McDonald's McBudget and spend $20 on health care per month, work 70 hours, don't heat your house, and have a car that you can't afford to put gas in.
i could pearly imagine living like that, anjou will call us pinko comice for it.
you stalking me? sounds like my life.
