No. No company is under any obligation to give you a raise.
Conversely, you are under no obligation to stay if you feel you deserve a raise and they won't.

Mr Dog,
No - if the company is doing poorly (don't just take sales as the only indicator - expenses may be higher than you know - loans, etc.) then raises may not be offered. There is no legal precedent for giving raises unless you are a member of a team for which a labor agreement has been negotiated. That agreement must state that raises are mandatory.

NO, it is not against the law. As long as they are paying you minimum wage or more, they are not obligated to give any type of raise. My answer is brief but CORRECT.
Hope this Helps!

No unless in a union, where it would be in the labor contract, you are an at will employee and they can pay whatever they feel you are worth.ALthough it is the decent thing to do they are not obliged by law to do that

Not unless it's specifically agreed to in your employment contract; or if you're a minimum wage worker, in which case you would receive any raise in that wage.
