I actually have some evidence, now. Raising the minimum wage does not have a negative effect on employment.

I've always strongly resented that argument. Such short-sighted thinking just proves that some people will rationalize any BS to maintain their comfy status quo. Heaven forfend we should actually support people on the bottom rung and prevent wide spread poverty because some employers will be peeved that more of their profits are being devoured by those ingrates who should be grateful they even have a job.

Oops. Seems I still have that button. Sorry.
