What's yor point? That you failed to understand my question? Raising the minimum wage won't make the poor magically disappear. Because everything ends up balancing out, and it is still the lowest income level.
That makes no sense. Going from 7.25$ to an actual living wage WILL help, many.
Could you live on $7.25 an hour?
Do you think people that started at $10 and have worked their way up to $15 or $16 an hour will be content to now be at the minimum wage?
Or are they going to expect/demand comparable raises too?
Oh Im sure they will, but, again this isnt going to happen overnight-it'll be on a gradual level. And I'm sure that if the politics in your area are in sync with your views, iot ain't gonna happen where you live.
