[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 1186060, member: 18708"] Basic supply and demand. The "corporations will run wild with no minimum wages" is nonsense. Small business would receive a major shot in the arm. It's the large firms that can afford $10 or $15/hr minimums. No one's going to work for $1/hr. That argument is so simple-minded and ignorant of basic economics. Companies will quickly find that they cannot hire anyone. There are loads of very legitimate arguments against wage floors, as well as price ceilings, and etc. Historically, price fixing often exacerbates the problem which it was meant to correct. The obvious flaw I can see with going ahead and eliminating wage floors altogether; the thousands of other variables and law that affect the labor markets would then need to be evaluated. Would also like to see abolished New Deal/Wagner, Taft-hartley, etc. But it's not going to happen overnight. [/QUOTE]
