This may sound crazy, but I want the minimum wage gone. The minimum wage has been a hot topic due to the proposed, but failed, amendment to the recent “COVID relief” bill that would raise it to $15. The original minimum wage has a bit of a troubled past. It was first passed in the 1930’s by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt through a strongarm of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court originally found it unconstitutional for the federal government to fix the wages of consenting adults. This was not going to stop everyone’s favorite authoritarian, FDR, so he slammed the court as “nine old men” and threatened to pack the court with 6 additional justices of his choosing. Suddenly, the court came to their senses and realized their legal theory was completely wrong and allowed the minimum wage to go through
Great article and explanation on how raising minimum wage actually hurts lower income/Unskilled workers. Hopefully the left will understand.
Well said Mr.Matthew Minkin
Agreed. My Future President!
