Don't get discouraged though, because no one here expects you to be able to wrap your head around any of this.
Because we're talking about helping the working class. Federal government needs to operate. The treasury secretary who says federal minimum wage should stay at $7.50 clearly does not have the working class in mind. If anything it should be at the highest level of all the states.

Everybody seems perfectly willing to subsidize billion dollar companies with our tax dollars while they raise prices and pay shit wages. Why are you okay with our current system of wildly uneven wealth redistribution?
