Dear Democrats: Why do you think $15 is the perfect number for the minimum wage?

Why is $15 better than $12 or $17?

Have you really analyzed why $15 is the right number if you feel strongly about it?

Do you know how the $15 was derived?

Do experts agree $15 is perfect?

Is $15 just the number that caught on and everyone is just repeating it?

The way I remember it, NYC was fighting for $15, and now people think $15 would be good at the federal level. That doesn’t seem like a good enough reason to me. Maybe you can convince me.
