What are the some benefit the poor people gets by increasing the minimum wage?

Frankly, I believe that there are no real advantages to raising the minimum wage. The minumum wage is raised only to keep up with increasing prices so the net effect is zero! HOWEVER it can hurt some people receiving minimum wage. Employers, when they have to pay more money in salaries ( minimum wage increase) often recoup their potential lost profit by decreasing the number of their employees...which means your're open to getting fired, to keep your boss's bottom line healthy!

The raising of minimum wage is part of the reason why things have become more expensive. Companies have to raise their prices to pay the increased wages of their employees or they will have to lay people off. As a result, the increased pay of those receiving minimum wage means nothing since the prices for everything else has increased. Plus, those employees that were already barely above minimum wage before the increase are now at minimum wage and will become disgruntled because they weren't given a cost of living increase when their co-workers received the new and improved minimum wage increase. Economically, it really isn't as beneficial as people are led to believe and is actually more harmful since it's a leading factor in the rising inflation rates.

Other than increasing the disposable incomes for low income households, there really is no benefit to minimum wages. There are several unintended consequences to an increase to minimum wages. First, it reduces the demand for labour. An addition to minimum wage would, in a way, serve as an exise tax to the supply of labour, adding additional cost to labour. Should demand remain steady, the supply demanded would decrease. This would result in a decrease in the number employed, ergo, an increase of unemployment. Second, as disposable incomes increase for the few that still have jobs, so will the prices for the goods they buy. Prices are set based upon costs and the ability of consumers to pay. All in all, this was what happened in the seventies. As incomes rise artificially on account of government intervention, the Misery Index increases and Stagflation occurs. So, if you thought that the rich got richer and the poor get poorer, then imagine the world I just described. Let the market set prices.

If people would be responsible for their own lives and futures, they wouldn't have to depend on minimum wage to make a living. People should learn a trade, go to college and hold off starting a family. I don't pity these people at all. They made their beds and they can lie in them!!

Sounds like you're trying to write a paper ... I'm not gonna write the thing for you, but here's a few ideas for your main points. -- Everyone benefits from increasing the minimum wage because: when the minimum wage increases, general wages usually increase as well ... People working in minimum wage jobs are happier because they are making more money and do a better job, therefore the entire community benefits ... The unemployment rates go down because people are more likely to seek out jobs where they can be paid a decent amount of money. --Most people who are only making minimum wage now are involved in a lot of government programs; like Medicaid, food stamps, etc., in order to support their families. Students living in poor families generally do not have the resources at home to preform highly at school, therefore they are not eligible for scholarships and their families can not afford to pay for tuition. Therefore, they have no training or higher education and must work minimum wage jobs themselves ... and so on and so on. Hope that some of this helps.
