I am all for a good minimum wage! set on a state to state basis. I think, maybe, in NYC or San Fransisco it should be 7-9 dollars an hour after all rent on a pitiful 600ft basement apartment in an outer borough can run upwards of $1100 dollars a month to pay someone who works full time 10K a year is damn near criminal.
Now lets look at the reverse case in Wyoming where a similar apartment will for for $500 Dollars its criminal to force business owners to pay people so much that inflation is forced.
This is where I am a conservative federalist at the national level and a bit to the center on the local/state level. And would be a winning way for the GOP to approach this issue as a states rights concept..
A price support for illegal aliens.
Cool. Just make it $500,000,000 an hour. We’ll all work 1 hour, retire, and export those jobs. Print more money!
