Is it really hypocritical to call for an increased minimum wage while paying your staff more than the minimum wage?

Yes, according to him it's a wage that is so low that it's harmful to the workers, to society at large, and it shouldn't be legal.

It's not like he's saying $15 is some magical number that will solve our problems once and for all.

But anything less should be criminal.

We must increase it to $15 an hour over the next several years.
