Political Impact!
The economy has not been too good these past years and the presidents of the time thought they could increase minmum wage for the people of America with the wisdom of one of America's most successful business leaders, Henry Ford. He not only perfected the techniques of mass assembly of automobiles, but he also foresaw that his efforts would not amount to great profits if average Americans could not afford to buy all those cars. In other words, raising the minimum wage will positively impact the entire American economy, not just low-wage earners. If low wage workers have more money to buy things, then businesses selling their products and services will have more customers. And more customers will mean greater sales, higher profit, and an effect that creates a more robust economy!
