Is raising minimum wage nationwide a horrible idea?

I think major corporations like WalMart, McDonalds, etc......... should have to pay a higher minimum wage. Small businesses though shouldn't be forced to pay a minimum wage. Although in general I support a higher minimum wage, you can't expect people to work for 7.25/hour and still be able to live off of that when prices continue to skyrocket for basic needs (food, water, shelter, etc...)

And tell me how that would work out for small corporations?  Who would work for Joe's Shop for $8.00 and hour when they could work for Walmart for $15 an hour.  No one would work for the little guy and we would just be stuck with the big guys.  

Jobs are limited at big corporations, so people would have no choice but to take jobs at smaller places.
