[QUOTE="YukonGlocker, post: 2846778, member: 425"] Where is the evidence? Many of you are making arguments that raising the minimum wage will do this, that, or the other...all negatively impacting the system all while doing nothing to help those making minimum wage. Talk is cheap. Where is your evidence? I just spent the last couple hours pouring over tons and tons of evidence that contradicts most of these points. Several people have asked why minimum wage hasn't (at least) kept up with inflation since the 1960s/1970s era, and nobody has addressed that. If you think there shouldn't be a minimum wage at all, that's another issue and you should simply say that instead of using unfounded/unevidenced arguments to support a position that raising the minimum wage will do nothing except increase inflation. I'll post this brief summary, which hits on many of the points that are frequently brought up...but I'd welcome evidence that supports any position you hold.
