>>Raising the minimum wage not only decreases the number of entry level jobs it is inflationary. Inflation hurts those people you are trying to "help" far worse than it does the middle class or upper middle class. You cannot pay people in excess of their production without it being inflationary.<< so is a tax cut. except the rich get most of the money (under bush's plan) and the poor are still hurt. are you against a tax cut?

>>>Why does it matter who has minimum wage jobs, I thought it was irrelevant whether or not people were "deserving"?<<< It doesn't matter to me as I said before. I still find myself having to address the argument put forth by the opposition that since xx% are single or students or both and without family responsibilities they are therefore not "deserving." So, best to be prepared and know the characteristics of the population at issue. >>>Raising the minimum wage not only decreases the number of entry level jobs it is inflationary...You cannot pay people in excess of their production without it being inflationary.<<< So you say. I think we're still exploring the threshold of where a fixed minimum wage rate is at or above the height of the potential market rate IMO.
