Trouble with minimum wage is people simply aren't meant to live on it. Raising the minimum wage does nothing in the long run as it does nothing to permanently shift real wages. People working those jobs will end up in just as poor a position as they were beforehand once prices adjust, with nothing to show for it but inflation. It's a good intentioned solution to a major problem, and one that certainly should get more attention, but that's the best I can say about it.
Anyway, regardless of what the guy thinks, why would you want everyone to vote against him? Just because he holds a certain view (or held, I suppose)?
