More money in the pockets of entry-level workers sounds great, but Rachel Greszler of the conservative Heritage Foundation argues that such workers, and the economy writ large, are hurt more than helped by increases in the minimum wage.

    One of the largest issues I see with minimum wage is its national rather than regional. That causes a very defective system.

      @wintermute_oregon Different states have different minimum wages. The point of a federal minimum wage is that it sets a minimum for the states.

        Even a state set wage is a bad idea. Living in Portland is different than living in Dallas.
