If you ever wonder what terrible direction Democrats want to take the country, all you need to do is look to California. In this case, it comes with the economic destruction of massive minimum wage hikes.

The candidates running for U.S. Senate in California are relitigating the minimum wage. California is jacking up the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $20 an hour, a move that is already getting people fired before the hike goes into effect in April. The hike also has fast-food companies raising their prices, meaning that even the workers who will benefit from this wage hike will have their purchasing power diluted thanks to further price inflation. There are no winners here but the Democratic politicians who think they just solved poverty.
