Raising minimum wage does nothing. Things cost more when raised,people above minimum make more too so in effect you're just adding zeros to everything and not making any actual advances in money. Plus business' just eliminate jobs and people to keep their profits.

@Applepiedom Wrong. It's been repeatedly debunked that raising minimum wage does nothing. It raises prices slightly but not at the same rate or amount as the wage increase. So society as a whole is better off with them
