$7.00 Minimum Wage????

Everyone who is arguing this isn't addressing why firms should be encouraged to stay in business if they are paying their workers desperation level wages.

And you are not addressing the question of whether the government really has any business whatsoever trying to micromanage something as complex as a national economy, when every government that has ever tried to do so has wound up either impoverished, overthrown, or finally admitting that the market does it better.
