(33,643 posts)1. It'll do little good ... their elite overlords long ago convinced them that 'minimum wage'
is an evil socialist construct.
Just another of the Evil Libs dastardly 'hand-out' programs to unfairly reward the lazy (urban) slackers.
Thus they're not programmed to even ponder the idea that raising the minimum wage will be 'good' ... the only good minimum wage is a dead minimum wage in their world.

Hell, even Arkansas has $11. The 7.25 federal minimum should be an embarrassment.
