The ethical consideration relative to supporting or not supporting a bill that increases the minimum wage should be focused on its impact on workers and business owners. This decision should be based on whether it is morally right to support a policy that will benefit low-income workers and potentially harm business owners or whether a different solution would be more ethical.
