You really think $3 would break the Companies, wow.
You also forget that in Seattle the experiment has proven less jobs at this end. People would rather work than not.
And you forget a lot of minimum wage is small business. If you're a restaurant owner or retailer who takes home $100K a year, yes, your $3 would amount to over $30K a year out of that guy's pocket.
Last, even big companies go bankrupt all the time and labor is usually their biggest expense.
Your position is rooted in the fantasy world where all the bosses are rich fatcats socking away gazillions laughing at the minimum wage schmucks. (that exists, but is not universal)
