Do you have any evidence to support this?



Do you have any to contradict it? Its common sense to me.


You are one making assertion.

To be correct you should state: "According to Stub's common sense, minimum bump across the board isn't going to help. 9 out of 10 Stubs agree that employers will hire less and/or fire people".

So you employ 10 people in Texas at 7.25$/hour full time or $15080/year. According to HHS for a family of two (e.g. sing mother) this is below poverty line. This makes your workers eligible for all kinds of social benefits and programs. This means goverment pays them another $2-3K in benefits (conservative estimate).

Now explain to me why I, as a taxpayer, should be on the hook for you underpaying your workers? Why is government sponsoring your business with a $20-30K/year handout?
