There are not enough superlatives that I can use to indicate how totally I'm in complete, unalterable, decisive agreement with you on this. The minimum wage (and labor unions for that matter) are impediments to the machinery of the free market. In particular, the minimum wage is an anti-liberty artifice that sets a false bottom on the cost of services. Both the employer and employee are constrained from agreeing on a price. Simply put, the minimum wage is a latter-day form of slavery.
