Raising the minimum wage would result in higher prices; we need to lower the cost of living in the country.

Everything is rising in price, and I don't think a minimum wage of $12.30 is enough to live comfortably on, since the average price for rent is almost $2k

The prices are already rising to begin with, so raising the minimum wage would allow the poor to afford basic necessities like food, clothing, and medicine.

Raising the minimum wage gives people more spending power and eases the burden of the cost of living

The more a person can gain in their work environment, the more they can afford to live in high-income houses and support their children. The minimum wage should be raised, as farm workers receive the lowest pay of all.

Raising the minimum wages results in higher wages, even when compared against inflation. The overall purchasing power of those in the working class (lower & middle class generally) increases faster and higher than the rate of inflation. So, while the nominal price of goods & services would increase, the real price decreases for most people because their wages increase at a faster rate. The people who would see a real increase in prices are those with high enough wages (the wealthy) whose wages would not nominally increase due to an increase in minimum wage.

Prices are already high enough people still cannot afford groceries or anything really. Raising the minimum wage will give more people a chance to get what they need. Yes we need to lower the cost of living in the country because it's way too much just to buy a simple house that even is one story there should be no way it's that much I understand bills and taxes but the home by itself should't be that big of a amount.

Then if we would need to stock up more on essential items if they are going to be cheaper and bought more often.

Raising the minimum wage would allow those that are getting this at work are still able to make somewhat of a livving off the money they are making.

Money is our currency, it helps stabilize society and without it the world would go into crises, economies would collapse, we have put it as the core of our world and have become dependent on it. It's a transaction and money is at the forefront of it. If you can't afford it, time to take some sacrifices because times are moving and you're getting left behind, time to catch up.

although it could increase cost of goods people shouldn't be making the bare minimum because people deserve opportunity.
