Every time they bump it, small stores cut hours or stop hiring. Then everyone acts surprised when those same people can't get a job.
Not to mention it directly causes inflation when they have to raise prices to pay their employees more.
Minimum wage hikes hurt the people they claim to help

Lol direct contradiction. Do they fire people or do they raise their prices?

If they actually want to help poor people, expand the earned income tax credit

Yeah and a single national wage minimum is especially dumb. Labor markets and living costs vary wildly. Minimum wage in Manhattan should not be the same as Nebraska.
