People making over $7.50 but less than $10.50 are all pretty much in the same boat. They are not going to complain a lot over getting a raise even if it is less than others.

I doubt there are any government workers making minimum wage, but if there are we can raise taxes by .0000001% to cover it. Or perhaps the money we save on fewer government benefits would offset the increase in government wages.
