So long as there is no other source of labor to skew the market, I could stand behind a no minimum wage.

Its that the market gets distorted with ultra cheap labor, like illegals.

I don't think most business fully thinks thru what it would be like without a minimum wage. Fruit pickers, meat packers, and other hard or manual labor would be paying out the wazoo to get people once you take away the illegals.

Its like the STEM gripes. There are plenty of PhDs out there. Nobody wants to pay for them, so bring on the HB1s.

Its not going to matter in a decade anyway. Once the boomer peak hits industry are going to be forking over cash to find bodies. It will be a workers paradise. The millennials will get there day. Too bad I'm an X'er that's just a bit to old to take advantage .
