When I consider that most of the taxpayers who earn Minimum Wage pay very little, if any, FEDERAL INCOME TAX, but do pay Social Security, I must conclude that most of the pimps of the election industry who push for these increases, do so, to add additional funds to the Social Security (mis)TRUST FUND!

Benevolence for the worker is never a consideration!

You've nailed a big part of it, IMO.
