"They'll just raise prices if thy raise the minimum wage."

RE: "They'll just raise prices if thy raise the minimum wage."
I'm thinking about how this negative income tax coupled with no minimum wage would work.
So everyone gets subsidized by the government to make a minimum salary. At the same time corporations can pay as low as they want. What will happen is the corporations will pay $1 an hour and the government will pick up the rest of the tab.
This smells like corporate welfare.
