Raising the cigarette tax is, of course, a dumb idea. But do not get seduced into thinking the raising the minimum wage will help anyone. Low wage earners will see unemployment hikes because fewer businesses will be able to afford to hire these people. A "job" is a contract (written or implied) between a willing employee and employer. Government should have no role here unless working conditions become unsafe or one party violates the terms of employment. Otherwise, any "minimum wage" laws should be abolished.
