If $15 were the minimum wage, prices would almost triple, canceling out the effect.

Um, no. There would be some 'inflation,' but nothing like that, and since one party reaps the benefits of the increase while the prices are spread out amongst everyone, it would help people earning minimum wage.

However, it's an idiotic idea and would increase unemployment while screwing over the 97% of the population that is somewhat productive.
