Paying people a livable wage is a good thing.

More unemployment is a bad thing.
For most poor people, raising the minimum wage doesn't mean increasing their income, but rather reducing it to zero. It literally prohibits workers from working for low wages, effectively putting them out of job.
Just because you like to be trodden on doesn’t mean everyone does.
After inflation, is it a livable wage?
