This link states that in some US states the mw for tipped workers is only $2.13 per hour:

From the link; the direct wage can only be as low as $2.13/hr if, in combination with tips, the total wage exceeds the Federal MW. So, while it's accurate to say that the MW can be as low as $2.13/hr., that's not universally the case even in those states.

The longer an employee works for the same employer the more money both make.

No. I don't. But you have a complete incapacity to look at results and be honest about what they mean. Employers don't just conjure pay out of thin air, and if you make being in business unprofitable -- or worse, completely impractical -- they'll go out of business.

In short, raising the minimum wage has been making, and will continue to make, shit worse for employees, not better.

And that's a basic piece of logic you evidently can't wrap your head around.
You are such an apologist for the oligarchy. The fact that you would even insinuate that I don't understand where wages come from is insulting, but ultimately, it's just another indication of how clueless you are. And the fact that you think the economic structure, as it currently is, doesn't have room to give employees decent wages, is nothing short of fantastical.

...based on your opening post. If you don't like that that's what your post indicates, alter your position. Otherwise, tough shit.

= pure ignorance of the established track record of results.
