Because we cant hope that corporations and the super rich will do the right thing eventually. That doesnt work. We need to pass LAWS that compel businesses to do what is right for society as a whole, not just their own special interests. All of the CRAP about how we cant raise wages or itll took r jerbs is just that, crap. This is what the super rich have been saying since we first instituted the minimum wage and it NEVER turns out the way they say it will, same as how Iraq will pay for itself or death panels are coming and on and on. We have to pass laws that compel businesses to pay decent livable wages, and in order to that we need to vote for sane, reality-based lawmakers who will do that.
