re: Why not pass legislation that automatically raises minimum wage to inflation every 5 year?

There are several layers to this imo.. but for me any discussion regarding "minimum wage" is dealing with the symptoms and not the disease..

The Disease is Government mandating regulatory solutions to economic issues. Another aspect of the disease is Government continually moving the chains on defining what the issues are.

For example, minimum wage was originally never intended to be a minimum "living" wage. But in todays world this is how it is currently discussed.

Much more could be said about this but for the moment I will leave it at that...
