Supporting the minimum wage doesn't make you a progressive. Rick Santorum supports a minimum wage increase.
Then why Republicans refused to even consider raising the federal minimum wage?
1.) It increases costs on businesses
2.) It increases the price of goods
3.) It increases the unemployment rate
4.) It falsely suggests something was done to combat inequality [majority of min. wage earners are kids, not poverty-level single mothers with 19 kids]
5.) There should be no federal minimum wage
6.) It's not that surprising that the GOP doesn't want to work with Harry Reid's party after all of his shenanigans.
