It was 2005, i was just married, and I was taking my final economics class before graduation. there was a nice video i watched which completely convinced me there is NO need for a minimum wage. Doesn't work, economics wise.

I haven't followed this issue closely, and I do know there would be abuses in small pockets, but that happens already. There would be a brief transition period where a few employers tried to exploit it, but people would become better educated and really demand more of their employers, instead of just agreeing to work for the state minimums.

So while I'm not going to hold a sign and occupy a public park for it, I'm okay if we eliminate it.

I like these threads where we explore the ron paul positions and issues, very positive.

Post by: howardroark on November 11, 2011, 03:31:20 PM: 99% of economists agree that the minimum wage is destructive. It's LITERALLY a textbook example (no really, look in ANY principles of/intro to microeconomic textbook to see what I mean) of a price floor causing economic inefficiencies.

The short of it: the minimum wage prices out the lowest-skilled workers out of the market.
