I think Nixon proposed that. Got scotched by some troubles or other he had.

If one is concerned about allowing the lowest earners the maximum income, one cannot have, in a given market, a minimum wage that is either so high that employers will simply choose not to expand jobs, nor so low that people with jobs simply cannot afford to live. $15/hr works for the big cities but not the smaller markets where cost of living is lower (I was just listening to an economist on NPR explaining why $15/hr works for DC but not Dayton). It could work as a percentage of average household income in a given area, but I don't know how you would define the areas.

Right to Work is horrible and by the time a $15 minimum wage was passed and enacted, inflation will, if anything, probably be right in line for that level or once again be past it.
