The ones making about $40k are the most adamantly against it. Raising the minimum wage to $15 / hr puts burger flippers at about $32k a year.....it disgusts those people making $40k a year that a burger flipper could possibly make close to what they make.
They don’t understand that a rising tide lifts all ships.
Because people making 40k a year are just above minimum wage so if you raise the minimum wage they'll feel slighted because they're now closer to being at the bottom of the wage ladder. They should be mad that their employer isn't paying them a decent wage but they redirect it to the poors who make them feel slightly better about their place on the totem pole.

Their are people in my family that don’t have a job and live off the government who complain about the same thing. It’s incredibly sad
