The Minimum Wage

Bloomberg makes the argument that raising it to $15 would help the economy by giving low wage earners more spendable income, pointing out that the wealthy can only buy so much.  In addition they allege that the govt. is subsidizing stores such as Walmart which don't pay a living wage forcing its workers to go on various subsidy programs.  Interesting that if the minimum wage tracked productivity it would over $21.
