Then what's teh problem. See conservatives try to have it both ways. They say if you raise minimum wage jobs will be lost. Yet then they say so few people make minimum wage very few people will benefit from a raise so why do it? Well which is it? Also the myth that minimum wage increases increases inflation. well teh minimum wage was increase in 1996 and 1997, wage was the inflation? where was the unemployment. Seems like we had the best economy is 50 years around that time.
The reason why minimum age increase potentially hurt samll busineses is that increases are contantly put off until they can't be put off anymore and then they have to be raised by HUGE amounts. Well whose fault is that? REPUBLICANS. Minimum age is NOT going away. Anyone who proposes eliminating minimum wage will LOSE an election. So the best solution is what Florida is now, doing ANNUAL minimum wage increases tied to inflation. A small increase that you know for sure is coming every year is much easier to prepare for than a HUGE increase once every 7-10 years you never when it's coming and you pray never comes, but always does.
