Everyone benefits from a higher minimum wage. When people make enough to spend they actually spend it. That is what actually keeps an economy healthy and more people that make above minimum wage employed.

Right. The way you know modern economics is for the most part a sham is its complete silence on allowing dragon's to hoard mountains of wealth and the damage this does to an economy.
