Disagree

Regardless, minimum wage standards should be adjusted by age group

Strongly disagree

No, this will only cause prices to increase in a never ending cycle

While socialists acknowledge that raising the minimum wage may lead to some price increases, they believe the benefits of reducing income inequality and improving workers' living standards outweigh the potential drawbacks.
