[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Raising the minimum wage lifts the bottom rung of the ladder a little bit above the trickled-down shit the desperately poor are mired in, so they can actually start to climb out of the sewer.

but even then, the advantages they have had in life, the people they know, their families, their looks, etc will never let them be poor for long. They will die without ever knowing real compassion for anyone.
