We haven't gone anywhere. What makes you think we have? The minimum wage laws are a joke and do nothing but raise barriers to entry to markets for the small business sector.

Even a liberal should be able to ask himself this painfully simple question: If raising the minimum wage solves anything, why does it continually need raised?

Since you believe that a law compelling higher wages is the answer, maybe we need a law that requires everyone receive one million dollars per year. Everyone would be a millionaire and have no problems whatsoever.

Go ahead...remove poverty from America with the stroke of a pen. I double dare ya.

And John McCain is a clown for flip-flopping on minimum wage. Or, as enlightened liberals refer to it, staying as nebulous and obtuse as possible, the "living wage" whatever in the hell that is.

    Thank you for the vindication. But if it's all the same to you, next time let me ask for it first, k sport?
    
    Ok, libs. Psycho has laid down the gauntlet. One of you has to hand me my ass on a platter, Psycho clearly not being up to the task.
    
    I know...I know...MW is a moot point anyway since average wages already exceed most of the various state and federal MWs anyway...but let's patronize Psycho...at least until his meds show up.

  Georga, its called cost of living. If you check the minimum wage in real dollars over the years, it's gone down during the past decade.

    Georgia doesn't get it. Inflation doesn't affect Georgia's spending habits.

      Welcome to the Phil Gramm School of Economics where we round everything off to the nearest million. Hence, negative changes only affect the rich because zero is always zero for the poor.

  Because employers cannot be expected to keep wages in line with inflation on the honor system.

    It means the free market labor system does not work, but you would have to travel the world before you found a Republican who cares to discover what is not working.
