And as the “new middle class”, of course they'd enjoy paying the government more of their "new and worth-less money" because of their "new tax bracket".

Very interesting analysis.

Here’s something else to consider. The increased min wage will no doubt lead to jobs lost, more part-time vs. full time and more jobs not being created to save on labor costs. Also more automation vs. employees when possible, and increased productivity from existing employees. If Increased min wage still manages to lower the bottom line, it will be made up in product-price-inflation, as a counter to government dictates on business.

Thanks for your take.

So true. Look at what the liberal and their progressive pals have done to our nation’s military. They have forced those who engage in acts of abomination to the Lord and God on our military. I ask all how can a man be a chaplain in this military knowing that these abominations take place? This nation was founded by men and women who sought religious freedom from the Church of England, others churches, plus even Catholics had an entire state to begin with. This nation prospered as people believed in the protestant/puritan work ethic. Now, just as Jesus lost so many followers after feeding the thousands because they wanted more and more, and; then he was worried if he’d even keep the 12.The left has all but banned crosses and signs of our real American religions. It is high time we all fight the good fight and we must rebuke these abominations. Jesus was not nice to the Rabbi’s in the temple with their false teachings/rules. Jude v. 3 Paul was clear to Timothy. In Timothy 6:11 he said -”fight the good fight.”v.12 tells him to GUARD.
