minimum wage

It seems to me we first need to abolish the fed and reinstitute a gold standard before we can eliminate the minimum wage. Why is this wrong? People need enough money to eat. If wages can't keep up with inflation then that is rude to people at the bottom. Minimum wage is not the prime cause...

The unconstitutional minimum wage increase is being forced upon everyone next month. How do you think this will affect the economy?

I bet you didn't know that the minimum wage increases have helped the economy. :rolleyes:

I heard on the radio that Oregon always maintains a percentage point or two higher unemployment than the national average. Oregon's minimum wage is like $8.45 an hour. During this economic downfall Oregon is having to lay off more than most other states b/c it would be illegal to keep people...

Minimum wage is set to be raised from $6.55 to $7.25 on July 24, 2009 and I really think this is when we see an economic SHTF scenario. We're going to see millions of people getting a 10% raise without any increase in productivity and I truly believe this will be when the mass layoffs begin...

I would just like to hear some of your opinions.

So I stumbled onto theobamaforum.com and it was like waking up in a nightmare. I cannot believe some of the ideas these people have. Here's a quote from the thread: "The more money in circulation the more people will have and thus the better the economy will be. It's simple economics." So by...

How come no one is blaming the new Minimum Wage, rammed through this Democrat Congress with a war spending supplemental, for the economic woes we face? We face lost jobs and inflation. Ron Paul is right about printing money out of thin air contributing to inflation. But the Fed doesn't deserve...

Maybe it's that good old government conditioning making me think otherwise, but I don't see how this is an absolutely horrible thing. When I think of "no minimum wage" I think of China, El Salvador, Honduras, etc. where working conditions are absolutely horrible. I can only imagine that in a...

Governor plans to slash state workers' pay link to article at SFGate.com: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/07/23/BAFJ11UH46.DTL Don't forget to read the comments. Here's a sample:

I understand that Ron Paul opposes the minimum wage as an interference with the free market. Leaving aside the constitutionality issue, what do I say to liberals who argue in favor of the minimum wage (at any level of government)? The usual arguments put forth are: Without the minimum wage...

I'm writing an essay for my Macroeconomics class on the minimum wage. It's supposed to be opinionated, so I'm obviously be writing against it. However, I was wondering if people could point me towards articles giving opinions on the issue (both sides) and also the raw factual stuff that applies...

By "which is worse" I basically mean, which is the more egregious offense against liberty. This includes a variety of factors that some people will weight with different values, including, which one impacts more people, which one does the most harm to the people it does impact, who the people...

This is actually more of a question than anything. I'm starting to find myself move toward a Rothbardian sort of market anarchism in how i view economics. However, i was wondering if someone could analyze a comparison between China the US in terms of labor and jobs. In china, restrictions...

Okay folks, I need help with some arguments of why a minimum wage isn't necessary. I know some lifelong Republicans who are switching over to Democrat this year because they don't understand why the Republicans are against the minimum wage. They have some compelling arguments that I could not...

:mad: http://money.cnn.com/2007/07/27/news/economy/minimum_wage/index.htm?postversion=2007072715 WTF is this nonsense! The cluelessness about economic issues in this country allow these commielibs to get away with this kind of assault on the free market. As is mentioned in the article, $9.50...
