Yes it does. As a business owner, more taxes means less money for employees (and less employees hired).

People that don't understand taxes never consider this and immediately think employers are just greedy.

Inflation is also never considered, which is exactly why we have to keep raising minimum wage in the first place.

Minimum wage increase will not help anyone in the long-run. It will only inflate the cost of goods and services for everyone within a few years.

The real answer is more education
