One-sided coin fallacy

One-sided coin fallacy occurs when a person only looks at one side of things, hence ¨one-sided coin fallacy¨. It occurs when someone argues that an action can exist while being completely oblivious that said action must have an opposite reaction.
Person A: Why are governments so stupid man? They can just raise the minimum wage to get rid of poverty.

Person B: Lol, that´s a one-sided coin fallacy. You can´t only look at the minimum wage going up, you also need to realize that companies paying more on wages will just make all their products more expensive.
