You've edited your top-level comment from "Incomes are going up, but so are prices" to "Incomes are going up in large part due to increases in the minimum wage, which will ultimately cause a rise in prices" in response to friendlygrammar's data. Why didn't you mark the edit, which substantially changes your claims?

It's an old saying that democracy depends upon an informed citizenry, but what happens when the citizenry doesn't act in accordance with the information?
