To LaTourrette, I say "You can't justify a $5.15 minimum wage. You can't justify ANY minimum wage. But once you've adopted an unjustifiable minimum wage, there is no rational way to pick the "correct" number, because the ONLY rational way to pick a wage is for an employer and employee to agree on a fair wage, and the "minimum wage" circumvents with that process.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Thomas Sowell would be proud of you. :-)

and all the robbers barrens of old would also be proud...how dare the little people, the disposable ones, dare think they are justified in using government to force owners to pay them a living wage? The gall....the unmitigated uppityness
