It is political felatio. Nothing more.
The US average minimum wage is $11/hour. Raising it to $15 means an extra $640/month for a full time worker. That’s more than ‘a few sheckels [sic]’.

In my experience minimum wage workers get excited about having extra money and will splurge.
The smart ones - most - soon realise they can't keep on spending it like mad and adjust their habits accordingly.
The dumb ones don't.
If you're working 40 hours a week, or more, you should earn a decent wage.
