I keep hearing the government say that barely anyone makes mininum wage anyways, so it won't make any difference. That's somewhat true, but not entirely. While some may not be making $5.95 or whatever it's at right now, even more are making a wage that set at a certain rate above the min. Some start at min wage + 20 cents. These employees don't count toward the governments 1-3% making min wage. A raise in min wage will certainly affect more people than they think.
