The real reason the Democrats keep pushing to raise the minimum wage is because many major Labor Unions have contracts that provide them an automatic increase based on the minimum wage.

Think about it logically. If we lowered the wage would you be able to hire more people or less people? If more people have jobs will you collect more income tax or less income tax?
