Soulless CEOs would gladly make a family go without food for increased profit margin. Also, Congress is slow and known for bickering, so we wouldn't have to constantly fight for human rights every decade or so.

raising the federal minimum wage is gonna make it worse for the family's who are already struggling, raising the minimum wage is gonna raise prices, increase inflation and people who arent as necessary are gonna get cut. if you live in america you have the oppurtunity to make more than minimum wage, there just choosing not to.

Prices going up are not the fault of wages being raised for poor people, it's the fault of business owners who want to increase/maintain their own personal profits. All workers should be paid at least a living wage, regardless of job or position.
Secondly, how do you expect every person working a minimum wage job to get a better one? Not only are there simply not enough high-paying jobs available for everyone who would want one, but also the fact that the millions of currently low-paying jobs are still incredibly important, even essential, for society. If you agree that low-wage jobs are important, but you also believe that the workers who do those jobs deserve to be poorly compensated, then you're just a bad person...
