Minimum wages

Increases in minimum wages sooner or later drive up the cost of products! Or do we expect the business owner to absorb the increased costs?

Sorry to see you fall for the false narrative. I suggest you read up on just how this is working in contrast to your statement in most other developed countries. The USA is impoverishing its own people just so fat cats can get fatter. Contrary to accepted conservative U.S. logic, rewarding greed is not good for the economy. Here in Mexico we have no such illusion. Our products are not cheaper for us even when our wages are low.

Increasing one's purchasing power means one will have more disposable income which in turn creates more demand for more goods and services. THAT'S how economies grow. Not by allowing folks to amass and horde huge fortunes.
