Cool. Let's make it $20 per hour. Where's it going to come from? You used the phrase "the old fallacy" several times, and every time you used it as a dodge to easily dismiss what you yourself don't have any real argument for. As USLCPL said, the idea of a minimum-wage job is that it's where you start out your career, not where you spend the next twenty years. People who have any brains at all start off in one of these jobs, then either move up the ladder or move to a better job somewhere else. These jobs aren't supposed to support families, and families who find themselves in that position actually have several recourses available, as has been mentioned but you ignored while prattling about "fallacies".

magic republican tales...like the myth of the lone gunman saving the day...

Not a myth at all, which I've pointed out to you in the past but you conveniently "forget" as soon as it suits you.
