no one would be working for a wage as low as the minimum.

Teenagers make minimum wage, and really deserve nothing more.

I thought you were all in favor of government intervention to raise wages through protective tariffs. Shouldn't you be cheering?

Why aren't you calling for these companies to exercise their "enlightened self interest" to pay these wages? After all, you keep saying that if companies raise their wages then their employees can afford buy more of their product and their profits will soar. Shouldn't you be using this opportunity to explain how higher wages mean increased employment? You should be defending these living wage laws.
