Is that my only choice, your intrusive nanny government that regulates peoples lives in the sure knowledge I can't decide how to make decisions for myself, or no government at all? How about a government that simply allows people to form contracts with other people for employment and salary, without some government know it all deciding what the terms should be. If I want to hire you at 4 dollars an hour and you are willing to work for me at that salary, why is it the governments business to tell either of us we can't freely make that decision? Be careful answering that, because a negative answer can only come from the premise that one of us is too stupid to make a decision affecting our personal lives and freedom.
In theory it sounds okay. Except in reality some people don't have a choice. They take whatever is offered. At this point, with all of the talk of illegals etc., nobody has pointed out that bottom wages have dropped down to near illegal levels.
I was recently offered maid services from someone outside the metropolitan area for something a little above four bucks an hour. The woman drives down to the city three days a week to clean toilets, walk dogs, wash dishes and clothing for something like $50 bucks a day cash. I believe she's working a 12 hour day, not including drive time.
