Minimum wage itself is a bad idea. Its a huge waste of time and energy and was borne out of white labor unions that wanted to protect their own jobs from minorities who would work for lower wages than whites.
Why the hell do people support minimum wage laws, gun control laws, public schools, or just about any other idea that comes out of the progressive agenda? Most of them can be traced right back to injustices perpetrated on minorities on this country.
•The 1931 Davis-Bacon Act, requiring "prevailing" wages on federally assisted construction projects, was supported by the idea that it would keep contractors from using "cheap colored labor" to underbid contractors using white labor.
•Apartheid South Africa enacted a minimum wage to price low-skilled black workers out of selected trades.
•In the 1950s, New England textile manufacturers supported Sen. John F. Kennedy's efforts to increase the federal minimum wage to prevent competing mills from starting up in the low-wage South.
Minimum wage laws do nothing but cause prices to rise and further ensure the less skilled are harder to hire causing all sorts of other problems in the process.
