The political hot potato gets tossed around because business claim that increasing the minimum wage will cause the end of civilization as we know it, despite evidence from other countries that this is not a thing. I am also not sure why you put "laziness, mental illness and a sense of entitlement" in with "people who do not want to work". Would you say "a great many people do not want to work because of laziness or disability". If not, then do not put mental illness in that bracket, quite aside from the fact that "A great many" is a vague term, with little backing from evidence
