I'm familiar enough with them to know that your blanket assertion about the evidence (and my moral fortitude) are off-base. What's your criticism, specifically?
We're all used to your intellectual cowardice, and this is just another example.
As it is obvious that you didn't actually read the papers in question, I'll spell it out for you. The paper notes over a one-two year period where there were minimum wage increases a larger number of people fell into poverty than those who did not have such an increase, and that the minimum wage boosts the income of those below the poverty line.
That's it. There is no further economic analysis of the actual situations under investigation.
Seriously, you would be all over it like a venereal disease if it came to a different conclusion. But because it supports your prejudices, you've accepted it without investigation.

Bloody hopeless.
