I will say no way in hell.
There are so many minimum wage jobs that can't be filled already because nobody
wants to work all day basically to pay for their gas to and from work.
So how does paying them less than they are not willing to work going to work out better.
It's just an myth promoted by business owners that are always looking for a way to
make more money. They see thay have 25 employees and can count the money if they
reduce wages. They imagine that no one will quit because they are such a fine person.
If the minimum wage were struck down it would only create a massive wave of new
labor unions.
People have short memories, the reason we have minimum wage is because workers
revolted, not because some lawmaker had a good heart.
