If you are going to have a minimum wage keep up with inflation. But you aren't going to help anyone by sitting on your bureaucratic ass for years then raising it over a few years to catch up.[/quote]

the easiest way to raise the wages of low skilled workers is to limit the supply of low skilled workers.   We can limit the supply by limiting immigration.  It really is that easy.   And it would help our country immensely.   Nothing racist about it.  just economics.
