Of course a minimum wage increase pushes all wages up.

If you were working at Amazon for $15/hr before this change and the other guy was working at $12/hr, but now makes $15/hr, wouldn't you want a raise?

I'm saying it will not push my wages up. And that's a good thing.

It might not push your wage up by much, but it does create upward pressure on wages in general.
