 Remember folks, minimum wage would have to be $66/hr to have the same buying power it did in the 1960s

Actually never heard a good argument for not raising the minimum wage

with the exception of housing because even after adjusting for inflation i believe buying a house is still 3x as expensive

I agree we should raise the minimum wage but where did you get $66/hr from?

The minimum wage in 1965 would be a little over $10 today when adjusted for inflation, so I’m guessing OP got $66 from something else on top of that
