The government cannot legislate the value of someone’s work. That is something only the market can do. Attempts by the government to usurp that power only result in distortions to the economy that will ultimately be settled by the market, not government bureaucrats.
Of course, what we are leading up to is the establishment of minimum wage laws, essentially making it illegal for someone to work at a wage below the government-mandated minimum. These laws might even be accompanied with good intentions, but the world does not work this way. Washington, in spite of its delusions to the contrary, does not reign supreme.
The absurdity of all of this is easily seen. If a family of four is thought to require an annual income of $60,000 to live reasonably, then just set the minimum wage rate at around $30.00 per hour and, based on a 40-hour workweek, every family of four in the US will have a comfortable life, even with just one wage-earner. If two adults in the family work, they’re very well-off, all due to government fiat.
Again, that’s not the way the world works as explored on page two.
excellent
Surprised to see this. I thought everyone at Harvard was out protesting.
Wages go up, Cost of Goods Go up, Businesses closing all because of GREED
work hard and make yourself worth $15 per hour.
City of Seattle imposed an incremental increase to $15 as minimum wage, causing dozens of businesses to either halt plans for expansion of opening up.
Many jobs will never exist because of irrational Leftist economics.
They have a Socialist mindset
Why IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS…..
1215 article 61 magna carta
Lawful rebellion…..
All of this is bollocks! Since the invocation of Article 61 of the Magna Carter 1215 by the committee of Barons in 2001 the Crown as an institution was stripped of it’s power and the power was given back to the people. General Elections are a farce, all political parties are controlled by the same people the bankers. Under Constitutional Law giving consent for these criminals to rule over you through the way of voting is adding and abetting treason which is a very serious crime. Our constitution was created by the people for the people many years ago to prevent the mistakes of the past. The politicians controlled by the bankers want to get rid of our constitution that founded principals like the rule of law and trail by jury and replace it with a constitution created by politicians which is why they want to create a new bill of rights. Why do we need a new one when we have a perfectly good bill of rights created in 1968? Because they don’t like the rights it gives us like the right to bare arms, the right to self-defence, the right to not be taxed without representation as it’s goes against their agenda. What rights will they give you? No one knows but the key difference between their rights and the rights given to you by the constitution is they gave you the rights so they can take them away, the rights given to you by the constitution you gave yourself by being in this country so no one can take your constitutional rights away apart from yourself. Many generations of our ancestors are looking down on us to do the right thing some of them died giving us the rights under our constitution. We’re lucky those rights were given to us at birth they had to fight for the same rights. Do the right thing and stand with us under article 61 and lawfully rebel against the tyranny today known as the Crown.
Evidence to proof the invocation of Article 61:
