The minimum wage argument is an excellent one. You could arbitrarily raise the minimum wage to whatever you wanted and the prices of goods and services would rise in exact proportion to whatever you set it to.

My biggest problems with minimum wage and Child labor laws are not so much economic, but cultural. By restricting low income, supplementary jobs, we greatly inhibit our ability to instill our youth with a work ethic. Do you remember when you'd pull into a service station, get your window washed, and have your oil checked at no charge? When's the last time that happened to you? Wonder why that went away? If and when that happens these days, I tip liberally, though it used to be expected, not too many years ago.
