Seattle nor the City Council will be duped by Occupy/15 now.
An arbitrary 60% increase in the min wage is as silly as occupy's last ridiculous concept, shutting down wall street. The vast majority in Seattle do not support this. Put the absolute $15 min wage to a vote as comrade Sawant proposed (before backing down) with no exemptions. It will not pass. Not a chance. Then we can stop wasting our time on this.
I hope this passes so I can see what 15 Now does when poverty fails to vanish from Seattle. In fact, when it fails to "lift people from poverty" as advertised, the city should sue 15 Now for breach of contract, negligence, or whatever charge will stick.
@3:bullshit:you dumbies keep supporting the rich,generation after generation,so why not support a livable wage?Ha!And you claim to respect hard work?Pfft!I'm calling all you phony motherfuckers out!!!

There is literally no math behind this, it's completely arbitrary.
Everyone else seems to be just feckless politicians, but good for her for being an honest person and putting facts past ideology.
sorry - had to correct it for you - common sense you know.
