Minimum wage is not a good thing. People are paid by what the economy dictates.

Minimum wage is intended to give low income workers the ability to support themselves and their families without putting themselves in poverty. Setting a minimum wage gives employers a certain level to pay their workers, so that they will not be underpaid and taken advantage of. It provides an incentive for employers to pay a fair wage and prevents sweatshops and labor exploitation. If the economy cannot bear such wages then it should increase. Minimum wage gives low income workers more buying power in the economy thus spurring economic growth.
