not one minimum wage supporter has indicated even the slightest grasp of basic economics


This is every minimum wage debate in history.

The supporters are always defeated by reductio ad absurdum: "If we really want to help people - why stop at $20/hr? Why not $50/hr or $100/hr?

Furthermore, if government is so good at setting wages, why stop at fast food workers? Why not have them set the wages for everyone?"

That does not defeat them. These min wage increase supporters are ostensibly setting the bar roundabout the cost of living. The pay level below which a person working full time would still be a burden on the welfare/entitlement system (taxpayers). Why shouldn't that cost, the cost of the employee surviving to work another day, be borne by the employer?
