Sure, raise the minimum wage to $15 - be my guest.
What I think about is how long that wage will be accepted. In other words, will that wage be a living wage in 10 years? If not, and you are relying on business to eat these wage increases, I believe that prices will go up. Some folks who are hurting might be helped by a higher rate of pay. I just don't know if anyone is talking about the national debt rising and other side effects of doing it.
