But anyway... I apologize again for erroneously bringing you and ********** into it when neither of you were even in that thread.

The problem with that idea, is there is no longer a voice for the 'workers' as in whom gets to deside what a task is worth. Now it's only the companies whom decide and they of course will pay as little as possible.
Unions have been destroyed with the help of polititions whom get checks from the companies. Don't get me wrong, I think a lot of unions were scams and pushed for ridiculous things, but there has to be a happy medium.
If companies like target and Costco can pay their workers $14-$17/hr then why does Walmart pay $9 and 10? It's not that they can't afford to pay more, but because they get away with it and because they get away with it, it's tax payers whom make up the diffrence with welfar and social services..
The simple fact is, these companies whom pay low wages are using your tax dollars to support their workforce.. That is why raising minimum wage to keep up with inflation is important, because in the long run it saves us tax dollars by not requiring social services..
This is the problem I have with people whom are usually on the right that bitch about welfare queens, yet give free passes to companies whom won't pay above the poverty level. These companies are the welfare kings. Yet that's no big deal..
