Set minimum wage to $10.00.hr and peg it to inflation. Take the issue off the table. There are WAY more important issues.

Problem with "peg[ging] it to inflation", is that the federal government has manipulated the inflation rate so much over the years that it means nothing anymore.

They no longer include the very essentials that the American people have to pay for every month to live, like food, housing and energy. Without these items, the inflation rate is low. With them, it is much higher.

The Cost Of Living Adjustment (COLA) is a joke.

$10.00 per hour is as good or bad, depending on where you live.
