To be fair, unless you've got a fair system to begin with, raising the minimum wage won't increase purchasing power anyway. Prices just scale up.

    That's funny, because prices in states with a higher minimum wage than federal aren't proportionally higher than states with a lower minimum wage.

    It's almost like payroll isn't the only expense the company has.
