I think a 30% increase to the minimum wage is too much, personally.

Minimum wage was originally created so that people could make a living. What wasn't figured in was single parent families, multiple children, and a million other variables. The idea behind minimum wage no longer applies. Now minimum wage is typically for high school kids, college students, retired people looking for something to do, and the people who have no desire to work just a little bit harder to better their lives. The first 3 groups of people I mentioned get by fine, the 4th group has a little more difficulty and it has nothing to do with the money they don't make.
