More Minimum Wage Lunacy

New York State is raising the minimum wage from $7.25 to $9.00, the left rejoices!

Oh...they recognize that this is going to have a negative impact on the job market and are going to subsidize 77% of the wage increase with taxpayer funds.  Hmm...
Once it reaches $9 an hour, employers would pay 40 cents and taxpayers $1.35 of the extra $1.75 an hour workers are paid.

I also wonder if it may push those higher wage earners up an income tax bracket perhaps?
