    Increasing the minimum wage does nothing

    Yeah but the problem with so many right/“centrist” positions is that they’re factually incorrect.

      I’m open to changing my mind, but you need proof rather than just saying that I’m incorrect. I have yet to see compelling evidence that raising minimum wage makes any difference at all in the long term. A lot of studies have been made to prove that it doesn’t cause job loss but none that prove that it changes the levels of inequality or pulls people out of poverty in real economic terms.
