Should be lowering it.

As an alternative, a poor one, of eliminating it.

“As an alternative, a poor one, of eliminating it.”

Why do you think that elimination of the minimum wage is a poor idea? Why should any government entity have any say in what businesses pay their employees. For a lot of “poor” folks, a job at five bucks trumps waiting for someone who is willing to pay you $10. Thus far, government hasn’t passed legislation requiring that a private employer hire people even if they can’t afford them or don’t need them! But that may be next!

Eliminating the minimum wage makes the best sense. The American Kremlin doesn’t work any better than the Soviet version.

It should be deleted. It’s unfair.

And more repubs should realize the min wage creates more opportunities for Illegals as small businesses try to keep costs low. Thus does it also create criminals out of business people who would otherwise hire Americans, but Americans are too expensive thanks to Feds and any min wage law.
