What other folks say that you don't like doesn't matter here. My point was that while you you seem to say that minwage hikes help low income folks (correct me if you don't mean that), I don't see it when I look at history.My point was that many conservatives who oppose rights or benefits for workers in other contexts also argue that they are helping workers by opposing minimum wage increases...
Agreed, the Fed min wage has stayed put for a decade while inflation continued. History also shows that most everyone's wages went up much faster than inflation the longer the min. wage was held steady. Now we understand you don't care for historical numbers but in case that changes---...the min wage has not kept up with the cost of living, and that argues for an increase.
