If minimum wage is raised,

who benefits?

Let's see now...41 years ago the minimum wage was $1.50 an hour. Suppose we tied that minimum wage to the inflation rate...costs go up and the wages go up accordingly? Doesn't that sound fair? If that is fair, and I think it is, then the minimum wage should now be close to $11 an hour. It isn't even half that amount...now what is fair about that?
