    If your small business fails because you can’t pay you employees enough to live off of, that’s a problem with your business model. The problem with small businesses is that the people starting them have no idea what they’re doing.

        I live in a country with reasonable minimum wage and small businesses are doing fine. My city (5 million people) only has 5 Walmart’s while while American cities with half the population (I’ll use Houston for example) have 24. Low wages are integral to Walmart’s business model, not in opposition to it.
