In case you wondered why unions (and therefore the Democrats they vote for) so strongly favor increasing the Minimum Wage.....
That I did not know...or at least if I did I had forgotten it...Thanks for posting that..... Interesting.....

Bad, very bad. A raise in the min. wage results in a raise in the cost of living, prices just go up. It helps out for a month or two, but after that point, you could be in worse shape than before due to the increased costs.

Its just another subsidy coming out of tax payer pockets. It doesn't affect the wealthy, its not enough to help the poor but offsets their cost of living increase since most poor are working minimum wage or not at all.
So who does it actually affect the most, the middle class because they are working above the minimum wage but have to pay for additional costs passed onto them by businesses compensating for paying higher wages to their employees.
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
