While this is very long... you didn't actually provide any real arguements.

Why should someone who does the same job, just as well get paid more or less depending on how well other people do their job?

 

As for Germany... guess what Germany doesn't have.  Minimum Wage.

Germany have very strong unions instead that's why

But with all the right wing bullshit in American media, that would never work as for some reason Unions are demonised in America, most of the time. 

Not for fast food and other minium wage type jobs they don't...  Something like 1.5 million workers make under 4 euros an hour.  With the bottom level of wages reported being 55 cents.

 

and Unions don't keep factories in countries... it's quite the opposite.

What keeps union style jobs in a country is a general populace that wants the existence of good union jobs more then they want cheap goods.  That or cases like germany where they augment things where you basically don't need a minimium wage, and the good union jobs are supported by cheap non union jobs.

Having no minium wage helps that because their is no "floor level" of success, meaning shitty jobs aren't seen as real jobs.

The thing is it doesn't matter that the shitty low skill job pay so little when they kept there decent jobs around.

And the strange thing is, that they may have kept the majority of their manufacturing but alot of stuff is cheaper there when compared to the UK.

But yeah i'm not sure if getting rid of a minimum wage can be done now if most decent jobs are gone here now
