I want to ask something, though. Who works for the minimum wage? Sure, there are burger flippers who work for minimum wage, but I think that anyone else is already, through the power of the free-enterprise system, getting paid more.

Maids in hotels and private homes, some store clerks and cashiers, and some people who rely heavily on tips etc.
Actually burger flippers are making $8 / hr in FL.
The mentally handicapped who do jobs like organizing supermarket carts, loading groceries into cars, and cleaning cafeteria tables make minimum wage here.
Those jobs are less available when the minimum wage goes up. Unless, of course, the taxpayers subsidize the wages.
