Certainly, the minimum wage increase will have a domino effect.

Guess what -- so does inflation. For instance, when the minimum wage remains stagnant for 12 years, while the price of everything increases, it has a domino effect on everyone who works for min. wage.

Every year, their wages are worth less. Every year, they have to sacrifice to accomodate inflation.

While your statement is correct, "Those who think an increase in minimum wage does not cause inflation or a rise in prices have never run a small business!" The following statement is also correct:

Those who think that NOT increasing the minimum wage will prevent inflation haven't bought a house, a car, food, gasoline, or paid utility bills in the past 12 years.
