Should the minimum wage be kept, abolished, raised or lowered?

 


Enkidu

No obvious answer for this one. If you increase it, this is humane and right for minimum-wage workers who actually have to live in the U.S. (e.g. retail and fast-food) but you turn up the pressure on the trend to send jobs offshore, which hurts a lot of others. If you get rid of the minimum wage, you might as well turn back the clock to the horrors of a hundred years ago (read The Jungle, all you Free Market is Heaven propagandists, we have BEEN there before). You have to find a balance. Keep it where it is for now and do incremental raises over time.
