The myth of the minimum wage is that when you rise it all other wages will soon follow suit. You have more dollars but they buy less and you're still stuck in exactly the same place on the ladder.
People who make minimum wage do so for a reason, their skill sets are not worth anything but bottom rung wages. A sad reality of life so you might as well get use to it.
The higher you make the bottom rung the less jobs there will be, foreign competition will see to that. Products move around the world almost as easily as you can move on the interwebs.
A good economy is not paying the bottom rung more, it's creating more bottom rungs and than being able to move up.
Nobody but nobody starts or runs a business to give you a job, you have a job only as long as your labor makes someone money over a given period of time.
