noWelfare programs effectively raise the minimum wage... so the argument does hold water.So the minimum wage hasnt been increased and yet things are still inflating anyways. this argument doesnt hold water at all.Raising the minimum wage historically has done absolutely nothing to help the poor or raise people out of poverty.
Actually raising the minimum wage helps the working Middle Class by raising the floor of wages.
No, it doesn't. It hurts the middle class. The only people who get a wage bump when the minimum wage is raised are the people who were making less than the new minimum wage. The rest of us don't get the same increase, but we do pay the higher costs of goods and services as a result of the increase.
