<p>Almost <a href="http://stockbuz.net/articles/minimum-wage-by-state?context=category-Opinion" target="_self">half of the states</a> in the U.S. are already paying more than the federal minimum wage and those states are surviving just fine.  San Jose and Washington have seen expansion in small business and increased revenue with $10 minimum wages.  The propaganda has become ridiculous folks.  Just my .02</p>
