Nah, it's not really my "pet subject" although I know it means a lot to others. I do think that raising the minimum wage directly contributes to the need for cheap labor especially in the case of small business and it is not the "least" of the issue.
So the fact that government sets prices instead of the market is less important than the effects of doing so?
If you didn't allow the communist type usurpation in the first place, the effects would be irrelevant, since there would be no effects.
