Yet people who are working class poor work and are on welfare.....did you miss the "working class" part of my statement?
tell us why poor people can't move from poor class to middle class? they don't have enough education or enough skills to move up for many reasons. Drug addiction, single parent home, no/bad education, no work ethic.
Raising the MIN wage on the poor won't do anything. The cost of living will go up, that's one step forward and 2 steps backward.
You forgot the but, sadly, one arm of government - in this case, the states - is creating problems that another arm of government - Congress - is trying to fix, and this rarely ends well.

??? I have known dozens of minimum-wage workers with college degrees.
just by opening a business and giving jobs to people with NO skills and no education so they can learn new skills on the job training so they can compete for higher pay jobs in the market is a success in my opinion. That's better than welfare.
If you are stuck at MIN wage for a while that means you aren't learning any skills to move up.....who's fault is that? If you start at Mcdonalds as a burger flipper and don't want to learn any new skills on the job training to move up within the company, who's fault is that?
Government shouldn't dictate wages in the private sector. The free market and demand does that.
Or it could be that your workplace doesn't have a dynamic advancement path; I had a manager stuck in his job for the next 20 years (until retirement) and the only promotion available was to his job.

Except that the minimum wage isn't directly connected to the cost of living.
You can certainly tell who around here is working Minimum Wage jobs past their teens and need a raise.
Too bad those bad career decisions didn't lead to a better job.
Let's just ban anyone over 21 and under 62 from working at MW Jobs.
So it's a bad career decision to work for minimum wage. Unlike what republicans say....no matter how hard and how determined some work to better themselves they will never get ahead.
