The liberal left fights every election for an increase in the minimum
wage. Business owners fight back with the argument of less
government intervention.
Liberals say they are for the little guy.
Conservatives say they are for the business owners who contribute
to the economy.
The problem persists almost every year because our government
leaders never solve the problem for the long-term. Some liberal
politicians like it that way so they can bring the subject up every
election.
Let's solve the problem right now, for the long term.
Price controls have never worked. The long lines at the gas station
in the 70's were a good example of bad government intervention.
The minimum wage is no different. The best strategy the
government can do is give incentives for businesses to pay their
employees higher wages.
What if the government eliminated the income tax for people making
$7 to $10 dollars per hour? This would mean the employer and the
employee would not have to pay much in taxes, while more real
money would be immediately placed in circulation. This strategy
would help business owners and put more money in the hands of
the little guy.
