It would cause more harm than good - the current minimum wage is already too high. I run a small software development studio and have to hire in the philipines, nepal because I can hire at $5/hr compared to much higher wages here. The minimum wage should be eliminated - people do NOT have to take jobs they don't believe pay enough, but those jobs should be available for those that choose then. It would lower unemployment substantially. You're not eliminating better paying jobs, you're simply making more jobs available to people.
