I can understand a state mandated minimum wage if the goal was to prevent the country from becoming a Third world cesspit where people make 10 cents a day. I can also understand raising the minimum wage to keep up with inflation and the cost of living.
The better solution would be to send people who are willing to work for 10 cents a day out of the country instead of good paying jobs and to stop printing money like it was going out of style.

Thank you. I also have a different take on the minimum wage controversy.
$15.00 is about what the minimum wage would be IF government intervention had not flooded the country with cheap desperate labor in the form of illegals, guest workers, and legal immigrants AND the CPI still represented the cost of a set standard of living.
