Our federal government was designed by our founders to govern, not make sure CEO's only make X amount of money. That's a business decision as it should be, not a governments decision.
Increased minimum wage would only create a domino effect and as we are seeing today, an inflation problem. While there has been no federal minimum wage hike, employers have to offer more pay to attract workers. Those costs get transferred to the products and services we use, and when things cost more, that's the definition of inflation which is today at a 40 year high.
