Dont talk rubbish a decent standard of living is one of the basic requirements of any working person. The minimum wage was a great achievement it needs to rise annually
The national minimum wage is, effectively, a form of Corporatism: the use of government to favour large businesses and corporations over competition from small businesses. The smaller businesses, less likely to be able to be able to cope with wage rises, close down and the large corporations- who CAN deal with enforced wage rises- are now free from competion and are able to charge whatever they like.
