I don't understand why conservative people are trying to overcomplicate things. Minimum wage in the USA is too low for people to survive. Basic costs of living exceed what you can make earning minimum wage. Okay, it has to be increased. It's just so fataing simple. To argue it should stay as it is means you are a horrible, indecent human being.
I remember when there was chatter of increasing minimum wage in Alberta to $15 and everybody I know who I considered to be an a-hole thought it shouldn't be increased. Well, it increased and everything was fine, except some people got to live a little better. Oh, the horror.
