I never understood why Democrats want to raise minimum wage so much. All it does is cause a chain reaction. Minimum wage goes up, smaller businesses can't afford to pay so many employees, so they lay them off. Bigger businesses don't want to cut into their profit margins, so they raise their prices. Therefore, when people go to the grocery store, everything is higher and they get way less for their money and we're back to square one. It's a viscous circle that never ends and it solves nothing.
