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.

Hard to believe you're comfortable with the idea that some full time workers' earnings are so low the gubmit has to feed them and give them cash.
I don't understand your question, but if you're asserting that the sky will fall after a minimum wage hike.....we've heard it before. The sky is still in place. Frankly, the cost of a burger does not change much, or et all, even with a substantial rise in minumum wage.
