The reality that food stamps may get cut = reason for conservatives to support this.
I'm sure the loss of low skilled jobs will result in food stamp cuts.
Of course, if your strawman "loss of low skilled jobs" were to occur then-----then a "result in food stamp cuts." would not occur but-----but you haven't produced any empirical evidence to support the BS you are spewing.
OTOH, earlier in this thread I c&ped excerpts from the article titled "Washington state defies minimum wage logic" which contained this excerpt "Not only was Washington the strongest [job creation] state, San Francisco -- with a minimum wage of $10.74, the country's highest -- had the greatest job gains in the past year among cities measured."

The reason the current system operates is that there are massive government subsidies going to these low-wage employees, he said. Government essentially subsidizes low-wage businesses. Theyre getting money from the taxpayer instead of standing on their own two feet.

Unz is also pushing against his own party and political movement. Unz, who used to be the publisher of The American Conservative and sought the state GOPs nomination for governor in 1994, could be signalling the start of a conservative push to end poverty wages. His support for a minimum wage hike has some precedent in recent years. Mitt Romney came out in favor of tying the federal minimum to inflation during the last presidential election, and...

Darn, you're right.

You're right, I haven't posted any proof that a higher minimum wage will result in food stamp cuts. My bad.
