You really think that "if we let them" companies would hire help at 25 cents per hour?

Companies already do hire help at 25 cent and hour in countries where there are no laws protecting workers.

You better believe they would do it here if allowed.

Do you know anyone in this country who would work for 25 cents an hour? Even if "they" could pay that paltry amount, who in their right mind would apply for the job? In order to take advantage of someone, they have to agree to it.

Your argument is ridiculous.

Excellent then. All the 3rd world countries need to do to get out of poverty is raise their minimum wages. (Are you really this ignorant of economics or are you pulling my leg? )

Which countries would those be?
