I understand the minimum wage as of 2015 is $7.25 per hour. Are they going to increase the minimum wage? If yes, when are they going to increase it and how much will it increase too?
Increasing the minimum wage is bad for the economy. If McDonald's has to pay every $15 an hour, their food prices will go up, and they will have trouble finding skilled enough workers who are worth $15 an hour and willing to work in fast food.
Likewise, IMO, it's really unfair to all those people who make MORE than minimum wage but less than $15. They should get a proportional raise to make up for it, and all it will really do is drive up inflation and the cost of living. And in the end, it'll be right back where we started.

Disagree.
They will increase the minimum wage just as they've done in the past.
No one can live on $7.25 an hour.
Many cities and municipalities have already raised the minimum wage without the dire warnings materializing. In the past the state of Pennsylvania raised the minimum wage above the federal minimum.

So you're basically saying that it's ok to screw Mcdonald's employees so they can keep the prices low for people like you. Why is American all about exploiting people who have the least say?
Rich people pay themselves 1st and pay everybody else last.

Minimum wage in many states and cities are higher than the federal

Prices up about 5%, or maybe $0.25 on a meal for your lovely powdered eggs, 'beef', and gypsum infused pancakes. Yum.
There is a petition to increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour in Georgia. They need 250,000 signatures for the bill to be proposed. Georgians must be in a fairy tale world if they think our right wing highly conservative Governor is going to sign off that bill. Georgia employers are cheap as hell and stingy with wages and they will go out of business before being forced to pay $15 an hour for service retail jobs. However, I do agree the federal minimum wage needs to be increased but not to $15 an hour.

I really doubt they'd cut off their noses...Unlike those who'd demand they be paid $15 for the same work they have been doing for 9 years without seeking more education and just expect to be paid more as "The employer should pay it"....
