Actually, it sounds like I didn't understand your position correctly.
You think lowering the minimum wage would not change anything. Got it. At what point would
raising the minimum wage start to change things for the worse, then? If lowering the minimum wage from $7.25 to $4 doesn't change anything iyo, then surely raising it from $7.25 to $7.26 similarly changes nothing. But you've argued strenuously against raising it to $15, because economic effects.
So where's the line? I mean you don't have to be exact, but if lowering it changes nothing then clearly there's a point where we can raise it while
also changing nothing, while benefiting the people who currently make that minimum wage.
