Best analogy for the folly of raising the minimum comes from....drumroll please...Kim duToit:

"Increasing the minimum wage is like daylight savings time. They day isn’t actually made longer (or shorter). It’s like cutting off your head and standing on it, so you’ll be taller."

Mrs. duToit also posts a succinct, logical, real world-based explanation of how increasing the minimum wage actually hurts those it's intended to help. Despite her on-again, off-again blogging, Connie duToit remains one of my must-reads.
