Tim Carney on the Minimum Wage

[o0xst]

Not a very good commentary, but for the most part I think Carney is refreshing. Good to see someone on the right properly addressing the hell that is neo-liberalism.

In other words, you didn't loose your job to the minimum wage, you lost your job because they had family members that could do the job and reap the benefits together.

Seems this misses the point in my book. Raising the minimum wage basically causes a chain reaction resulting in inflation of prices negating the raise given to minimum wage employees.

Both points are equivalent as good practical arguments.

Minimum Wage sucks. Especially when someone who is hard working gets paid just as much as a Slacker!!!

I say minimum wage for Politicians. Lets see them hustle for their money!!
