Minimum wage hikes are causing restaurants to close, costing jobs

It no longer applies to first world economies; only second and third world economies. And, the real problem with the right wing is that only have nothing but Repeal on any better solutions at lower cost.

Nope. It applies universally.
 
Only unprofitable locations should have been closing regardless.

The wage cost is not only expensable but can also be passed on to the customers.

Then why is it that every socialist country ends up mired in poverty, while countries that are mostly capitalist have the highest standard of living, especially for poor people?

Is that really true? I assume that it depends on how you define "socialist".

Also, notice how every country with a dictator and/or some sort of totalitarian government "ends up mired in poverty", so is socialism actually the cause? And aren't there lot's of poor countries which aren't socialist?

Can you provide a list of countries which make good examples of what you claim, indicate whether you believe them to be socialist or not, and poor or not.

And...most importantly, what does socialism have to do with the minimum wage? Have you done a study ranking countries by their effective minimum wage in relationship to their wealth level?
