Walmart is paying more than minimum wage already? Again these jobs that are paying minimum wage are entry level, they exist simply because it is beneficial to employ someone to do the remedial task for minimum wage. We're talking fast food, cashiers, retail, these jobs are not designed nor intended to be a source of homestead income. I agree big corporations lead to lower wages, which is why they don't care about minimum wage increases they easily absorb the cost. However the small business competition simply can't they'll either do it themselves, eliminate the task or close the business either way it leads to more big corporations.


The Free market is broken but that's government keeps interfering, think of government as the rock blocking the flow of capitalism down stream. Remove the rock and river will start flowing again.

My bad I swear I read you had six kids. Youd really need that pie huh?


You didn't address the issue of a true free market trending towards monopolies. The main reason we have regulations.


I understand the concept of entry level jobs. The issue, as I have brought up before is that there are more people looking for non entry level jibs than available. As flsprtsgod pointed out it's better to work for $5 than zero. I know he intended it to support his view but I believe it supports mine here. Even if you are able to fullfil a job that pays much more if all that's that's available is minimum wage you HAVE to take it. You gotta have some money even if it's not enough to live. Look at the average age of minimum wage workers. The right will say its a lack of bootstrapping desire the rest say its a verifiable lack if well pay jobs.
