Minimum Wage Help

[austin356]

Lets all be clear here, there are MUCH MUCH MUCH worse problems with our economy that minimum wage laws. Eliminating the minimum wage laws is something a president Paul would never get around to doing. It cost too much politically.

I prefer tackling the big issues such as the regulator and monetary system.

98% of americans make more than the minimum wage.

Heritage has a good article, might help.


Also, I think you can appeal to logic by asking why don't we increase the minimum wage to 20$ an hour? Increasing the minimum wage is like printing money. It hurts the poor.

If that isn't enough I always ask this in a debate with a economic retard. Why does Walmart pay it's employees 8$ an hour, when by LAW, it's only required to pay them 5.15?

They will have no real answer. They will still believe that without minimum wage laws, Businesses would be paying people 1$ an hour.
