So anytime anyone gets a raise, you expect a commensurate increase in salary?
No, it is a bad idea; because if you're going to arbitrarily raise the wages of one, then you need to make it equitable for others.
Example:
Worker A is making $5.00 @ hour and it gets raised to $15.00 @ hour (300%), just because.
THEN
Worker B who has worked his ass off to get raises that now put him at $15.00 @ hour, should then be raised to $45.00 @ hour (300%)
AND
$20 to $60
$30 to $90
$40 to $120
And so on.
Or else how are you going to keep the ones who have stayed for years and worked their way up, via the raises?
Fact is around the world, the minimum wage has been elevated in many countries, and in the US and those dire predictions do not come true. There is a mountain of data disproving that . We are at all time highs in corporate profits. The people on top just took it all. Time to share .

I don't think you understand how wages work. Like, in any way at all.
But wouldn't what I've presented be equitable and that's what the left wants to see happening.

But it isn't a "raise", it's an increase for everyone at that level.
If you do that, then how are going to keep the loyal workers who have stayed and worked their way up?
Yes, if the min. wage goes up, the other employees will get a raise too. That is not bad since they will spend it. It is demand that creates jobs and makes companies expand. It is not the corporations making incredible profits. They have been living it up the last couple decades while wages stagnated. The creators of profit are workers.
