Force of law means more government? How is a number change in current gov from 7 to 10, more government when it means millions in reduction of welfare subsidies and thousands of lost gov jobs?
You're correct, neither business or the taxpayer is responsible for subsidizing the populace. Just who exactly though, do you think will pay our debt?
Look, I don't care if wages go up due to a minimum wage hike or some other form of increase. Increase it only for people with kids, increase it for people under a certain threshold, change other laws so that people are not working so sporadically. Change other laws to give tax incentives to companies who increase jobs. Take taxes away entirely to companies who increase jobs by a certain percentage. There are a thousand ways to fix this problem. None are being offered by saying businesses and taxpayers are not responsible. The bottom line is wages have been stagnant for 35yrs. Many people cannot survive on what they are making. Half of us are on the dole. What is your solution? Half the population getting better jobs? That's obvious fallacy and as unrealistic as your "not responsible" argument.
Racist? So you're saying everyone on minimum wage is a minority?
