You conservatives seem to see everything as competition, or incentives to win, to function well. (ego oriented) We liberals see the value of cooperation and making up our own mind, regardless of incentives. (task oriented) The ability to think makes appealing to incentives barbaric. Appeal to ones ability to think and sense of justice. youtube.com <<Since there are human brains running around making their own decisions you have to consider the incentives you create, not just the desire of the plan your pushing, and the mechanisms used to try to force people to act on your desire>>

The anti-minimum wage argument, hardly ignores dynamic effects, it relies on them. If there where no dynamic effects (beyond the initial forced increase) then minimum wages, and increases in such minimums might actually be a good idea. You are confusing dynamic vs static. Dynamic effects are those that occur AS the change takes place, while static effects are the final steady-state condition. The anti-minimum wage argument is nearly 100% based on a claim that AFTER the dust all settles, the steady-state condition due to increased wages is either about the same (i.e. it just normalized out due to increased costs) or somewhat worse (again due to increased costs).
