Only an absolute idiot(read Democrat) could possibly think that the government can wave a magic wand and actually bring about some ideal and we can all live happily ever after. It is easy to pick some minimum wage worker and show how his life is SEEMINGLY improved by mandated wage increase. I say "seemingly" because will never know what he would have done if he had to somehow improve himself to get more pay. Not so easy to show all the destruction caused by same act of Congress.
It's 100% unadulterated political pandering.
