Multiple studies have demonstrated little to no relationship between a higher minimum wage and reductions in poverty," the institute says, in a policy brief.

Supporters of increasing the minimum wage also contend that such a move would act as economic stimulus. When low-income households earn more money, they are likely to spend it, pouring more dollars into the economy, the argument goes.
This is an optimistic thought, but the result would likely be a significant job loss as companies decrease the number of employees in order to counteract the increased amount of money they have to spend on them, and this would be negative for the economy.

They will be the young high school and college students, the young ministers of the gospel and a host of their elders, courageously and nonviolently sitting in at lunch counters and willingly going to jail for conscience' sake
