    How can minimum wage be eliminated?

    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...

    Something to think about regarding government set Minimum Wage

    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...

    SHTF July 24, 2009 - Minimum Wage Hike

    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...

    Make Minimum Wage $100/hr to fix the economy?

    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...

    Why Is The Minimum Wage Off Limits?

    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...

    Why is minimum wage bad?

    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...

    Minimum wage

    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...

    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...

    Which is worse: the minimum wage or the Patriot Act?

    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...

    Minimum Wage and the Economy

    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...
