> US Government mandated minimize wage forces corporate welfare basket cases like Walmart to start carrying more of their own water.
This is probably true, but wouldn't ending corporate welfare be a better strategy to achieve that end?

We, collectively, support the employees that allow walmart and their ilk to operate. Mandating a minimum wage at a higher level takes the burden away from the rest of us.
The alternative is not just to pull the rug out from under folks feet and let them sink. This would not result in better negotiation skills, or people choosing jobs that pay a living wage, or any other utopian ideas. It would result in further abject poverty.
