As minimum wage goes up, so does the cost of living and unemployment. Companies that can afford to pay 2 people $5 an hour, can now only pay 1 of them $10 an hour. Sorry, one of you is getting laid off. Now productivity is down too... Businesses start charging more, because they think the minimum wage is enough, but now that it's gone up they can squeeze a little bit out of everyone. If people lose jobs, and prices go up, then taxes can go up too. Now the nation needs more money to pay for people who got laid off and need food stamps. Why do they need them? Because they asked for higher pay at their ditch digging job instead of getting out of that hell and making a real life. Sell your New car you "had to have", pay less for your phone, and eat some ramen. Life is hard, so buckle up.
