Should the government raise the federal minimum wage?
Prices going up are not the fault of wages being raised for poor people, it's the fault of business owners who want to increase/maintain their own personal profits. All workers should be paid at least a living wage, regardless of job or position.
Secondly, how do you expect every person working a minimum wage job to get a better one? Not only are there simply not enough high-paying jobs available for everyone who would want one, but also the fact that the millions of currently low-paying jobs are still incredibly important, even essential, for society. If you agree that low-wage jobs are important, but you also believe that the workers who do those jobs deserve to be poorly compensated, then you're just a bad person...
