I wish that employers and employees could just come to agreements amongst themselves, and government just stay out of it. Politicians enact minimum wage increases, then spend their time telling workers how great THEY (the politicians) are. In point of fact, the politicians have not done a thing, it is the employers who have to shoulder the added burden.
That's what is evil. The politicians will go around soaking up credit while vilifying the employer as being cheap and exploitive. I do not give scum bags one OUNCE of credit for it.
