I will address you other point at a later time.

As to minimum wage, have you looked up some of the references I mentioned in this thread? There is on-going research that suggests minimum wage/inflation link isn't as strong as traditional thinking goes, at least within current operational parameters of it being historically (when adjusted for inflation) lows. My personal opinion - just like with cutting taxes, keeping minimum wages down run its course and well into diminishing returns territory.
