A 1%er says it's time to raise the minimum wage, a win/win for everyone

THANK YOU for so convincingly supporting my view that the Minimum Wage is an unnecessary government regulations.

Wordslinger is afraid to answer these simple questions although he infers that he knows the answers.  You too know the answers so how about you posting them for us?

What percentage of households rely on one worker earning minimum wage?

What is the typical household income where one worker earns minimum wage.

If you can't easily answer those questions, from a reliable source, you really don't know anything about minimum wage other than it makes you FEEL GOOD.
