Goofy doesn't believe in the markets deciding what is reasonable compensation for a given job based on the skills required and the availability of qualified labor. This is all a vote-buying gimmick and we all know from where it's been tried that artificially raising labor costs results in all sorts of negative consequences. Lost jobs, closed businesses, replacement with technology because it now makes financial sense to do so and so on. They very people they are trying to help are harmed by these economic illiterate and stupid ideas.
And yet they continue to vote for them because of the promises and not the reality of how these policies actually do far more harm than good. If you want an example, try to find a restaurant in SeaTac, WA. Most of them closed or relocated as a result of the $15 per hour minimum wage. And those that stayed have raised prices and no longer let the servers keep the tips.
