a lot of my neighbors in my apartment building work minimum wage jobs, and they support the minimum wage increase and i don't blame them. the problem is, from the few conversations i have had with them, they vote with their wallet and they don't really care about anything in politics outside of what the politicians can do for them. i would not be surprised if a lot of minimum wage workers feel the same. if dems manage to pass a $15 min wage, they will get a lot of voters who would have otherwise voted republican because of the tax cuts, simply because an increase in minimum wage is money directly in their pockets.
