"I still don't see the connection of how the minimum wage is actually hurts our economy."
Yes. That is obvious. I would guess that you think rent control is a good thing as well. May I recommend a book: http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Economics-Common-Sense-Economy/dp/0465022529 Until you can get around to it, hear is a basic primer: 1. A minimum wage mandate does not happen in a vacuum. It will effect other policies. 2. Business will adjust in order to compensate for lost money due increased wages. Some of these changes include: A. reduced hiring. B. reduced hours. C. reduced benefits. D. higher prices. E. fewer products. F. Offshoring G. Fewer resources to reward high performing workers. 3. As a result, fewer people are working while the product pool shrinks and/or increases in cost. That is, the exact opposite of the intentions of minimum wage. Or is it? And as discussed earlier, the minimum wage adversely effect minority and young workers more than other groups.
