> Well..if there were laws to enforce a higher minimum wage…

So why don't you argue to make the minimum wage $10 million a year? Then everyone is rich. Hell, I wonder why the Sudan hasn't thought of that.

There is surely an upper-bound on the minimum wage in an economy? What if you are already at it?

What if people _think_ we're at it because they don't factor in food stamps, Medicaid, etc.

If the minimum was a _livable_ wage, maybe we could get more people off of so called "entitlements".
