The problem is, in the meantime some of the worst paid people in ~~your country~~ the US will suddenly have no money.

The only way you can help increase wages is to reform ~~your~~the US voting system, so you can reform ~~your~~ the minimum wage.

You will never be able to vote with your wallet out of this one.

Surprise, suprise, in Australia, the minimum wage is okay (not fantastic, but you can live on it), and we don't tip (or at least, the vast majority of transactions never attract a tip. In hospitality venues there is a tip jar, that's it).
