> minimum wage is demonstrably insufficient to remove poverty

Minimum wage is insufficient yet to put all population into poverty.

If we increase minimum wage to, say, $100/hour, then 99% of population would be not able to find any jobs [that pay minimum wage or more] and that would, effectively, put 99% of population into poverty.

With current $7.25/hr minimum wage only few percent of population cannot find jobs because they do not have enough skills to get minimum wage job.
