Democrats who want to more than double the federal minimum wage are ignorant.

Perhaps they’ve failed to grasp how raising the minimum wage would increase inequality. It would do so by further entrenching the advantages of America’s privileged youth. Or maybe they’ve chosen to overlook that effect, plunging millions of young job seekers into unemployment just to placate the Democratic Party left. But rather than kicking the disadvantaged in the shins, why not enact policy that could actually put them on better footing to compete with rich kids?
