It is nice to see a study described in an actual academic paper.

The idea that raising the cost of labor causes a domino effect on other budget items should be predictable. Unfortunately, too many leftists who cannot grasp the fundamental laws of cause and effect believe that the minimum wage happens in a complete vacuum. And those same leftists make policy.

So the tax plan voted on in Congress is touted as raising wages for all Americans. Won't that rise in labor costs also cause an impact on prices?

I respectfully, and mildly, disagree. I believe that liberals feel that the "rich" companies should absorb the cost of the minimum wage and that it should not be passed on to the consumer. If it does, they can blame the evil, rich companies, not the minimum wage.

I wonder how much ‘this study’ cost to produce an answer any business could have told them in less than 10 minutes of interviewing???

Trump needs to put a stop to all the free money that is given for ‘studies’ & ‘research’. It is a big game to prove COMMON SENSE.
