There are many of us who think that it is none of the government’s business about how much someone is willing to work for in order to advance themselves in life. This is a person by person INDIVIDUAL choice which should be left to the person who lives with the results. In many ways, it is the raw foundational building block of freedom itself. Freedom. Free to make one’s own decisions without being imposed upon by busybodies claiming to know better than you and forcing their will upon you and your life decisions. How much money you are willing to accept as salary for performance of a task is certainly your own individual choice. I have no right to be included in the decision and asking my government to give that right to me opens the door to a very slippery slope of one decision after another being stolen from the free will of those whom the decisions really belong. You choose minimum wage laws. I choose freedom.
Libertarians are going have to accept it.
