When you read quotes like this, you wonder what kind of basic economic principles are taught, if any, let alone any serious discussion of peoples motives.
JS Online:: "Now a $9-per-hour supervisor, Kilgore said that the $5.15 minimum wage should be raised so he would have one more reason to try to talk Milwaukee teenagers out of selling drugs."
How about the small business who would love to hire someone but can't afford the cost - should they not be able to offer someone a job? And what about the person who is willing to work that job, for the wages offered? Are they prevented from accepting that job?
Why do we think there are thousands of illegal workers in this country, breaking both immigration and employment law? Because it's what the market will bear.
