Ragamuffin Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 As it is with many political issues, this gets cast in an all-or-nothing fashion when it's really about finding the right equilibrium that gives people a reasonable wage at a minimum while not causing companies to jack up prices or not hire workers because the wage is too high. If you remove the minimum wage, too much power shifts into the hands of companies, especially when workers are plentiful. They can informally "conspire" to take advantage of workers who have to work to eat. However, the flip side is, if you try to turn minimum wage jobs into the kind that can give people financial security, that's generally going to cause prices to rise and less workers to be hired which winds up making the minimum wage less valuable than it was before.

Jaime Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Yes with this caveat If the minimum wage was trapped in a burning building with a bunch of viable embryos, and I could only save the embryos or the minimum wage, I would choose saving the viable embryos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
