I didn't make an argument. I made a statement. Most surveys do find overwhelming support for the minimum wage. I don't happen to support it, but most of the public do.
And your degree and education experience with minimum wage from an economic, as opposed to a political perspective explains how it is you can be so reluctant to accept my claim. You've no doubt discovered that most economists oppose the minimum wage but that doesn't mean the public at large does. The public are ignorant of even basic economics and have a different position on it.
But look, if you don't believe me, go out there and ask average people what they think about the minimum wage. Survey after survey finds overwhelming support for the idea. I think you'd find the same thing.
Your arguments are all rhetoric. What surveys are you referring to? And you DID make an argument. Its an assertion that has no basis.
I know MW issues, both economically and politically. Support for the MW is all political, as there is no economic basis for it; quite the opposite. And the only people that actually support it politically are liberals who are actually interested in it, a few union leaders, and academics, who altogether on their best day don't come anywhere near 90%.
Tell me one presidential election where the MW was a major issue in the campaign. If 90% of the public supported it, it would be a major issue.
