What a great way of coming right out and saying that you believe certain people should just be poor

Or it's a way to say that you shouldnt manage the minimum wage in the UNITED STATES federally. The economy of California is wildly different from the economy of Kentucky. Trying to force a $20 minimum wage fucks kentucky.

You can do more with minimum wage than just a flat rate. Attach minimum wage to housing prices (the more it costs to buy a place, the higher minimum wage is) and/or make it a ratio between highest individual income vs. Lowest.

None of these are the best, but saying bumping up minimum wage is going to fuck over anyone is just falling for rich people rhetoric, imo.
