Big companies like Walmart and Amazon want a $15 minimum wage because it means the mom&pop small businesses that compete with them will close down or become loan-servants. Fuck them. Make bracketed minimum wage - billion dollar corporations can pay their workers $30 an hour. Million dollar companies $15. Anything less stays at $7.50.
Not necessarily true - look at Amazon. They are literally always hiring and have almost an endless list of available positions in practically every state.

They wouldn't have enough positions to meet the demand and people would have to work for the small business anyway. Especially locals.
