So it's reasonable to assume truthie and red advocate for the elimination of the minimum wage by logical extension. |

That would be wrong in my case. Snidely, thats like me telling you I like vanilla ice cream; then you say it means I hate chocolate. That's flawed logic. If you ask me if I'm for the elimination of the minimum wage, I would say no. Bad idea in general. Even worse idea in the midst of an economic slow down.

Let's set aside the current recession because conservatives make a reasonable argument in these times for the elimination of a minimum wage. Given your statement quoted below, low wage jobs are for those lacking skills. Why the need for some minimum wage then? After all, once one attains the required skills one is out of the low wage group. If one however does not improve skills, it's still free choice to stay that way. Again no need for a minimum since it is free choice right?

So, although I don't advocate the elimination of the minimum wage, you're asking me to rationalize the argument for a minimum wage? My belief that the job market determines the value of a job, does not mean that I think the government needs to stand down and not regulate key aspects of our society. Just like deregulation in the banking/financial industry has proven to stimulate the market in both negative and positive ways, the same would be true for, lets say, the job market. The elimination of the minimum wage would allow unethical employers to lower the wage to substandard levels. We have already seen the impact of loose labor laws. Our society has already transitioned beyond sweat shops and child labor. I'm not saying its a perfect system, but it's good. Due to greed and other human characteristics, there should be a minimum wage, in my opinion, to help offset potential abuse by unscrupulous employers. Edited by VoiceofReason, Apr 7 2013, 11:33 AM.

My question to you, Snidely? What would be the impact of an immediate increase in the minimum wage, to what you and Z seem to consider a living wage, of $15? |
