Exactly. Studies have shown conclusively that raising the minimum wage, which is designed to help young, inexperienced, often minority workers, has exactly the opposite of its desired effects. Look at the demographics and unemployment rates and you’ll see it keeps young, inexperienced workers from finding a job where they can gain experience, get their foot in the door, and start working their way up.

Isn’t it odd that minimum wage laws have been exempted from American Samoa, where Pelosi’s husband just happens to have a canning plant.
