You are confused - not an unusual state for you. Free markets create high wages. High unemployment rates, which are the result of large governments such as those required to implement socialist agendas always result in lower wages and higher unemployment rates.

The minimum wage hurts the very people that liberals claim that it is intended to help. Minimum wage laws may be useful election tools for Democrats, but they are no substitute for a thriving economy with a low unemployment rate.

The current minimum wage is not, in fact, a living wage. Dear Hoot: please read Wealth of Nations (assuming you haven't). Then, let us, you and I, engage in a debate, using real world examples, with the purpose of examining your fanatical reliance upon what you deem "free" markets. Won't that be fun?
