You don't want to shut down all the businesses in a local economy that is built around cheap land, cheap rent, cheap labor, and cheap goods and services and turn a perfectly happy small town into a ghost town, do you?
I don't think $15 min brute force min wage will clear congress for these reasons. I don't think that it is good for the democratic party if they implemented something that shuts down a lot of business and puts people out of work in many areas across the country.
