Minimum wage was designed to rise with inflation/cost of living/productivity, but wound up stagnating a few decades ago. Bumping it up to 15$ would put it at the level it's supposed to be at, and with certain safeguards in place would continue to rise with inflation/cost of living/productivity. The middle class would be healthier/growing and that is good for the economy.
