    Those questions are mostly opinion questions. It is dishonest to ask opinions and then grade them as one would a test. When an opinion poll asks about the effect of raising minimum wage on unemployment people answering will read it as: Do you think the current unemployment situation was caused by congress raising minimum wage? I think it's embarrassing to Zogby and the WSJ.

    A,

    Cunsumers in the U.S. would pay higher prices.

    Textile workers in Pakistan would be cut off from markets

    Textile workers in the U.S. would gain because they would have a protected market which would allow them to charge higher prices allowing higher wages and benefits.
