good points in #46  Around here McDonald's paises above minimum wage, 
but if the minimum wage is raised and you can suddenly make the same 
or better money working somewhere else than McD's, you are likely 
going to take it.  Because who really wants to work at McD's in the 
first place.  So McD's would have to raise their pay.

Which isn't a bad thing, if places like McD's and Walmart suddenly 
have incentives to pay their people more and give them better 
benefits.  Society as a whole is not going to crumble if everyone is 
making more money.  I thought that was the goal of capitalism.
