"Unfortunately we are starting to run out of udders on the cow because there’s only so much milk that can be produced. Producers are being chucked out of business. It’s going to be a self-fulfilling prophesy. "

- Mary Lau President, CEO Retail Association of Nevada, who says that raising the minimum wage creates a false economy. She says that it’s going to cost 500,000 jobs but it’s going to bring people out of poverty but then the poverty threshold is just going to go up.
