The minimum wage should be pegged to inflation. Would take away the issue.
How- minimum wage cost jobs.... how would pegging it to inflation help?
The argument for no minimum wage is logical, compelling, clear, and well developed.
It is also political suicide.
This battle was lost 75 years ago, and it is not going to be won in a general election campaign by libertarian nerds quoting logical arguments.
The minimum wage is a price any candidate has to pay to be allowed to govern. It’s that simple.
No, it wouldn't.
The Federal government shouldn't set a minimum wage at all. That's the issue.
Not so. Setting any wage above the market demand in itself creates inflation. Pegging it to the very thing it accelerates only perpetuates inflation artificially. Meddling with the market is a disaster.
Don’t tie it to inflation.
Tie it to something like the SS increase, or some other thing the government conspires to keep to a minimum.
No, wages should be pegged to the market, supply and demand.
Yes, make it like Social Security. Seems those who make that loudest noise vs. a minimum wage increase go ballistic if SS isn’t increased to their liking. Well, just can’t have it both ways, folks.
