Proponents of the minimum wage are trading on class envy and nothing more. As long as legislators can control wages they have a strangle hold on voters.

Very few employers want to pay employees the minimum wage. Most would be happy to pay more to good employees. Minimum wage does just what it implies. It keeps wages of good employees at the minimum.

And a way to "keep 'em on the reservation". Another example of the "soft racism" of lowered expectations.
