When you see politicians pushing to raise the minimum wage, don't get it twisted. They don't care so much about entry level workers as they do about the votes of union workers, that have thier wages tied to the minimum. It's a powerful political tool for Democrats. It doesn't hurt to have the poor of the country think you're on their side, as well. Even though you can't make a decent life for yourself at twice the minimum wage. Most entry level jobs pay more than minimum anyway... If the market for labor dictates it.
