Higher minimum wages don't cause people to be paid better, though; they just cause people at the low end of the wage spectrum to be put out of work.

But if the wages are too low the person will need government assistance to survive, anyway, which means that the government is essentially subsidizing the business. If you have to pay your workers so little that they can't survive without welfare then YOU are the one mooching off the taxpayer's dime and should not be in business.

Funny how all you right wingers have no problem when so-called "job-creators" are the "moochers".

If you want to get rid of all the mooching by getting rid of government assistance and letting private charity help those who are really in need, I'm all for it.

Been tried, and the results are poor at best and typically much worse.  The most capable of being charitable are the ones least likely to actually BE charitable.
