Eagler, no, I pretty much stayed in minimum wage for the duration of time I worked there. And, I *was* supposed to make a living. In some places, you even have to *save* money so you an get tuition and an education later.
What Dnil left out of the equation is the size of the population given the raise, and the impact on the economy can be determined using economic models, to some accuracy. It has been shown, here and other places, that increasing the minimum wages does not lead to rampant inflation.
At the very least, minimum wages should be kept up with inflation. In some places, they haven't for years. And in a capitalistic world, he who produces the same goods cheaper, wins, so while the cost will be past on to some degree, the question is where and how. This is *not* a simple question.
Regarding welfare, you're suggesting a law that goes against the constitution and whole idea of freedom. It does not correspond well with the traditional American values of liberty. Coersion might work, but it is always better to gently nudge in a driection rather than pull in questions of freedom.

Good thing you don't go into the pro choice BS.
You Sir, is a perfect example of the image that pops up in most Europeans heads when they hear "republican"
. Take that as a compliment or something else, it's just a statement not meant to be anything more

"Make things as simple as they can be, but no simpler", paraphrasing Einstein. Methinks some of us are oversimplifying matters.
