Thank you for asking I think that people need a decent wage like that because people need food,gas,shelter, and money to spend for recreation and they need it to survive here is the thing though with higher pay like the employees will work harder which in business will make more money for the company then they will have enough money to hire more prople.

With the increase of minimum wage, it would also bring the decrease of potential job openings, as business owners now have to pay more per worker. 

This leaves business owners with two options:

#1: They don't fire workers, but they raise prices substantially, which negatively affects the customer base and business prosperity

#2: They fire workers, and now we have a rising unemployment rate

 

With this, why would you promote the $15 minimum wage?

And about the tax question well the money that would provide these things will be like transportation and investments in the market.

Here is the problem with your line of thinking:

When you enforce fictitious government regulation of minimum wage,  you eliminate the need for competition of wage among the businesses. You mustn't saturate the market with such regulation because you need to allow the market to fixate itself first. Nobody knows how the economy will function as of now, and we can only make speculation. It's nothing more than a myth that the government or businesses control wages and prices, because the market does. When you support free market, you are allowing for there to be natural growth, and with that you will see the minimum wage rise and fall until it finally fixates on the accurate number which is influenced by supply and demand in the workforce.

 

Then you make ask the question: How will allowing a free and open market allow wages to rise?

When people are looking for work, they look for a couple things.

1) Benefits

2) Wage

3) Convenience

 

The issue at hand is about wages, so I'll focus on this point. When a business is looking to acquire the best workers, they must out-compete their competitors when it comes to wages. This is where competition in the job market comes in. When this happens, businesses will start to realize that because their competitors offer better wages, benefits, etc. that they are actually taking all the best workers, which in turn translates to more efficiency and productivity within the business. I disagree heavily that enforced government regulation of the minimum wage is at all the best way to treat our workers. The best way is to allow these businesses to compete with each other to try and offer the BEST they can to those looking for a job, which will do much more than any form of government regulation.

Because with a high minimum wage consumer spending will increase leading to a increase in profits for all companies thus leading to more jobs

Not true at all. In a free market society, when the minimum wage increases, everything else naturally scales along with it. This means your average hamburger will cost more, so will your rent, clothing, electricity, water, etc. 

If anything, this decreases job supply, makes everything more expensive, and on top of that it takes a big toll to small businesses which operate as an integral part of our economy.

Not sure what state you live in, but I've seen the affects of the damaging rise of minimum wage first-hand in my home city: Seattle.

On paper it sounds good, but in reality it's actually horrific to the state's economy.

I live in New Zealand where the minimum wage is $15. Even as wages are high many services and necessities are cheap and our economy is good.

New Zealand is not comparable to the U.S. economy that Identity will be based on.

@ThomasHetch Hello, I am very interested in your polices and I'm Liking you very much. 

I am very experienced from my own in Politics, And I was wondering If I would be able to help you more than just voting. Also, It would be better that you Choose a more known Party, For Example the Republican Party as You kind of have the Same Beliefs and aims. 

I am Still new to Identity but im getting to know it more and more. But if youre interested in my help, You can add me on Skype ( XSMX_Services ) So we could talk better. There I could tell you how much I am experienced and I could give you some more suggestions that could help you. 

Thank you. 

-James.

What will you do in terms of protecting the intellectual property of the companies on Identity? Will you introduce laws that allow companies to trademark their designs and logos to help keep the integrity of small and large businesses? These businesses will surely be an integral part of our economy, so it would be wise to help protect these businesses from destroying each other.

I will now be only having 10% of taxes going to the police because we need to have it for hospitals,medical care, and fire fighting the rest will go to the government for city projects and city workers and so we can invest and build a big economy there are too many socialist and commie clowns out there so make sure that you vote for me.

Players will be able to form custom organizations that are separate from gangs/guilds and corporations, and are viewable to other via the players profile on social media sites in the in-game intranet (should they choose to display them). These organizations can represent almost anything, including political, and religious groups!

We're really excited to see what people will make of this feature!

You know what I think it should because we need an organized government so we need to go into depth when it comes to this stuff.

I would like to propose an Idea to the developers I think it would be amazing and great if there was a space program to have people simulate what it is like to be an astronaut. Thank you and that would make more jobs which is a vital of my platform to create more jobs. And for the record to all my supporters with my company and donors to my campaign I will do my best to at least help one way or another to get elected into some type of office.
