Have anything to back up that unsubstantiated claim?
Doubt he does.
BLS stats
quote:

Minimum wage workers tend to be young. Although workers under age 25 represented only about one-fifth of hourly paid workers, they made up about half of those paid the Federal minimum wage or less. Among employed teenagers paid by the hour, about 21 percent earned the minimum wage or less, compared with about 3 percent of workers age 25 and over.

Not a bad strategy for the Dems IMO, cast the R's as freedom hating and don't want you to advance yourself. Never mind that prices of goods/services will increase proportionally and their buying power will be unchanged.
