3. Higher than it is now.

But with exceptions for startups (basically anything less than 3yrs old).

7. A safeguard against exploitation for the least able to protect themselves.

The appropriate level is the fair wage for the low skilled and entry level workers. Whom make up much of the minimum wage market and whom have few tools available to ensure they receive a fair wage for their services.

8. $12 an Hour

possibly $15 in high-cost cities like NYC. Best anti-poverty program there is.
