MIT Study: Higher minimum wages raise voter turnout

This study states the obvious: Populist politicians try to bribe voters to vote for them!
A minimum wage is a perfect tool for politicians to gain favor with some voters!
Like with a magic wand you redistribute income to your favorite voters!
This is another good reason to abolish minimum wage laws altogether!

Government price controls like minimum wage are unconstitutional! The minimum wage is a serious impediment to labor market entry or participation for many who need a job, but cannot easily find one.
