The poor, unemployed, “victimized”, and poorly educated tend to vote for Democrats. Also government workers and lawyers who thrive on division (class and race), conflict and more laws.
Doesn’t that explain Democrat policies, which serve to increase their electorate?

yes.
increasing the minimum wage automatically results less jobs and greater unemployment

since we have a minimum wage, a reasonable argument can be made that it should be temporarily lowered during the Obama Great Recession, to allow for more jobs.

any increase in a minimum wage should logically be during UP economic cycles, when there is not a jobs shortage

and obviously, any increase should be “reasonable” ... incremental ... say maybe fifty cents maybe at a time, so as to not shock the economy back into recession

a quick doubling of the minimum wage would shock even a good economy downwards again, due to the massive job losses it would cause. you can’t keep a good economy going if you create millions of more unemployed folks on the dole.
