Right. Also, I read that most people that object minimum wage increase are those that are just a little above it themselves. That exactly explains what Godin talks about here. Those people won't have anyone to feel superior to if they lose their tiny wage differential.

Who is better positioned to tell you about the dis-incentivization of minimum wage than those who have recently worked hard to get above it?

Yeah, right, I am sure they only have society's best interest at heart, after the careful consideration of 'dis-incentivization of minimum wage'....although I'm not sure why you think they have all 'recently worked hard to get above it'. I would think it's more likely these are two distinct classes that don't intersect that much.
