This article argues that the increase in the minimum wage has been devastating to poor, young minorities.

But it was to help the poor, dear Michael. And only the rich profit from a lower minimum wage. Nobody will lose their jobs by over pricing their services.

And here's the kicker. You take these angry unemployed poor folks, you blame rich Republicans, you advocate for more entitlements and tax increases on the rich.

It's a nice formula. Keep a person down and get their support all at the same time. It's not like these poor folks are voting for Republicans.
