I asked for a raise today and was told I’m not getting a raise because it’s the governments fault for raising it in the first place.

Sorry if this is a rant but I'm frustrated. I'm a seamstress at a small business. When I got hired I was told I would make 15 dollars an hour. Well my checks say I only make 13.00. When I confronted my boss today I told him I'm discouraged making only $1 above minimum wage and he told me to blame the government for raising it. That's it's not his fault. So I'm putting in applications tomorrow.
