Those states are losing jobs to lower cost labor states. Why are all the manufacturers moving to the south?

Buddy, we have states with comparatively higher minimum wages to the federal standard and there is no problem. The truth is you guys on the right cry wolf way too much and if this ever does actually get out of control people aren’t going to see you all as reasonable because you’re always wrong. Just chill out and see what happens instead of crying wolf.

Probably, but it might have more to correlate with skills. If min wage goes up, i bet those people don't get more insurance. On a side note, how does someone not have insurance? Between Medicaid and Obamacare, everyone should be covered unless they choose not to be.

Blue states have higher wagers and more insured than red states.
