Vince held out 3 years until getting a better job. Can't hate on a guy for taking care of business.

Many jobs just aren't worth $15/hour and some small businesses couldn't grow if forced to overpay employees.

The end result, if this is successful, will be fewer jobs for those who need them most, as marginally profitable businesses will fold, and others will look to automate as many human jobs as possible.

To take a line from the great movie, "Caddyshack": "If you want to be replaced by Golf Carts, keep it up."

I would look unto those $15 with the eyes of inflation.
