The minimum wage went up to $10 / hour in Tucson so tons of people just turned into minimum wage workers. At a lot of places managers don't really get paid anymore than lower level employees if you figure out their hourly rate. Raising the minimum wage way up isn't going to help. If it was going to then why don't we stop messing around and just raise it up to $50 / hour? Then would everyone's problems be solved?

That is the most disgruntled group. Those that are making just a bit more than minimum wage already and don't see a pay raise themselves. Their pain in this scenario can be understood but is still rather petty and selfish.
It reminds me of this LBJ quote "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
Remove the racial portion and it applies.
