That's - not how that works, like at all. 

You've got companies worth hundreds of billions of dollars who have full time employees on food stamps. How does forcing them to pay a higher minimum wage "make the spread bigger". 

Here's a hint, it doesn't. 





Where are all these jobs with companies worth billions that only pay minimum wage?    

Locally both McDonald’s and Walmart advertise starting pay that is more than 2x the Iowa/Federal minimum wage.    For people with no skills, just have to show up and work.
