In theory I don't like the idea of a minimum wage, but reality is reality.  A lot like it is now, there should be a federal minimum wage that you can't go beneath, and then the states have the choice to raise it based on their cost of living etc.

But it eliminates that argument.  If the complaint is "prices will go up!" well, they already are.  

And they always will.

When was the last time we got major price drops because of deregulation for example?  lol.

If wages and risen with the cost of living in the past we wouldn't be looking at this today.
