Of course it implies causation. It may not be a one to one causation. But it is borne out by both theory and history, if you bothered to read any of the three links I posted.
Let me ask you, why would increasing the price of something not result in less of it sold? And again, where is the cut off point? If 7.50 is good, why not 15? 25? 100?
Let me use some Rabbi logic here..
If raising the minimum wage from $6.55 to $7.25 didn't drive employers out of business, then raising it to $100 will not drive them out of business
It all comes down to causation. If you look at the extreme it justifies your point
Right rabbi??
Wow are you dumb, too dumb to write coherently.
How do you know the rise from 6.55 to 7.25 didnt drive some employers out of business? What evidence do you have?
Of course it has. Raising it to $25 would drive even more out. $100 would pretty much drive all of them out. So you might have one guy making $100 at min wage. And about 10k completely unemployed.
That is the choice: people working at a market wage or a lot of people not working at a higher wage.
Explain Rabbi..
Its your bizarre logic of extremes..
Raising the minimum wage from $6.55 to $7.25 didn't drive us to hell and damnation....Why would raising it to $100 ??
