Someone raised a good point earlier ...
how come something like raising gas prices in order to encourage less driving is an accepted practice but raising the minimum wage is claimed to have no effect on employment?
I can only imagine that either people don't want to admit that labor is a good or service because we provide it, or they want to raise the minimum wage out of a misplaced belief that it will help poor people, and thus engage in Confirmation Bias.
