If min. wage goes up though, inflation will go up. When it went up from $4.25 an hour, prices went up at nearly all of the places in my town that paid min. wage to their employees, causing everyone who shopped there to spend more money, and so on and so forth. I don't know that min. wage increases really help anyone, and I'd wager to say it hurts people that make more than that, because they have to spend more money without a wage increase. I guess that's a little bit of my old DQ boss coming out though. He ALWAYS griped about how much he had to pay us, and how poor he was. Since I started at DQ in '95 to now, he's had 3 pretty new trucks...
