This is a common myth. The majority of minimum wage workers are adults living independently, and a surprisingly high proportion of them are heads of households. This being the case, taxpayers are subsidizing the expenses of these workers and minimum wage law simply places that burden on the employer where it belongs.

Supe - I want some numbers here. I have read differently. If an employer becomes burdened - they will being firing folks - not giving them a raise.
Funny how when the topic of minimum wage comes up - nobody mentions -
A. Earned Income Tax Credit. Yes, you work and have a family - the Feds give you extra money every year.
B. Food Stamps, school lunches and other giveaways.
C. The millions of illegals that follow no laws and are often below the present minimum wage scale anyway.
