Liars.
NOT unintended consequences:
20% of the workers lose their jobs and blame politicians, 80% get raises and thank the politicians.

A 4 to 1 advantage for the politicians... politicians aren’t stupid. As long as the media lies for them they’re gold.

This is the aspect of raising the minimum wage that galls me the most. Thank politicians? What the hell did they do? Did they come up with the money? Do they ever have to make a payroll? No. And yet they will turn themselves into pretzels patting themselves on the back and expecting adulation from the voters. And in the process they drive a wedge between the employer and the employee. In effect, what they (the politicians) are saying is "Your boss is screwing you and is up to us to make sure you are adequately compensated". It disgusts me.

Yeah, but the math doesn’t work quite that way because people have children. Someone might think they are helped by the minimum wage - but their children can’t get jobs. That is one consideration . . .
