Yes, they're two different forms of exploitation.

So, abolish minimum wage and allow businesses to decide worker's pay, then? Raising the minimum wage doesn't mean there's no longer a minimum wage.

Oh yes, quite a simplistic and realistic approach.
the_dark_lewd said: The minimum wage has always struck me as one of the worst ideas in all of left-wing politics. If people can't make enough money to live off, help them through the government directly. Don't wreck businesses for that purpose. Let them pay whatever the hell they want. If someone wants to offer $1 an hour for a job, let them. Almost no-one would bother applying for it. |
"almost" until it becomes acceptable behavor by greedy corporations.
maybe it spreads, like a infection and soon many are suddenly forced to work for 1$.
Minimum wages are there to protect the workforce from the corporations.

I'm not sure if you can view sigs, but the flag in there is meant to help make it easier for people to understand the context of what I'm posting, so they don't inadvertently think I'm promoting or supporting something I'm not.
The government should support small business to stay open but some business are not meant to be. Higher minimum wage helps everyone.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

^ this.
If you cant afford to pay your workers 7$ you should probably move on to something else.
More often than not, if something fails its not due to the worker's wages but most likely mis management.
I guess this is to prevent moveing work forces to china where they have a minimum wage of like 3$.
Can it really have that big a impact paying your workers 4-7$ more? Greedy rich bastards most of these people that move jobs over sea's.

The flag gives no context to what you are posting from what I can tell. However, what you are supporting doesn't really matter in this case. Abolishing wage labor in and of itself would be extremely difficult and entirely opposed by an overwhelming portion of Americans, no matter what replaces it.
