Robots Seek No Minimum Wage
If a $15-per-hour minimum wage is such a good idea, then shouldn’t a $25-per-hour minimum wage be even better? Or perhaps
Washington should enact a $50-per-hour minimum wage. And just think of how wealthy Washington could become if everyone earned at least $100 per hour. The citizenry of SeaTac recently imposed a minimum wage hike to $15 per hour for airport employees. And now Seattle’s looney left thinks that their city should enact a similar minimum wage.
Barack Obama wants a $10 minimum wage. This continues a leftist tradition that believes its agenda is exempt from the laws of economics. Any minimum wage at all guarantees that entry-level jobs will be overpriced and thereby forces them out of the marketplace. Regardless of what they say or how they vote, Americans do not support overpaying for low-skilled jobs/
