The reason why we have a minimum wage is because the cost of living is so high.
The cost of living is so high because of minimum wage. If an employer has to pay more he has to raise prices on his goods/services and that increases the cost of living.
Say a guy gets fired from his minimum wage job
If we didn't have minimum wage there would be more jobs to go around and he probably wouldn't have lost his job. Also you said fired not laid off, so someone could do his job better than he could. Maybe he should have tried harder. And the unemployment. Why should I have to involuntarily pay for someone's life, if they have no incentive to get a job?
This man, Joecavalry is a champ he used this argument twice, and it rings true both times. "We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle." -That crazy bastard Winston Churchill.
