Raising minimum wage would reduce government welfare spending. Claimed by the article, "PRO/CON" minimum wage," the government wouldn't spend so much money to benefit low-income people if they could earn more money. This evidence shows us that raising minimum wage would benefit everyone. In this case, the government would have more money to spend on different things.

For the purpose of survival, we believe we should raise minimum wage to benefit the economy including everyone.
