Site the polls AND the questions.
Most Americans know minimum wage is an entry level wage for the unskilled and part time and only about 4% of ALL wage earners make the minimum.
according to this fairly recent poll 72% of American support raising the minimum wage.
My argument isn't for the minimum wage, it's for not alienating 72% of the population. I mean... that's approaching constitutional amendment levels of support. I just don't think this particular issue is important enough to throw ourselves on the fire for.
