The government does not have the right to set a minimum or maximum hourly rate.
The nature of government depends on the character of the lawmakers.
In the US if the lawmakers are committed to our Constitution they will abide by the adage, “That government governs best that governs least.”
If the lawmakers are of a Marxist persuasion they will seek to increase government power and authority over all culture, industry, and society.
The two are incompatible.
The Marxist influence on lawmakers has overridden Constitutional controls.
The election of President Trump is an attempt by the electorate to bring us back to Constitutional government.
