So how is adjusting the minimum wage for inflation adding more government?
The government would be emplimating the law wouldn't they? Why can't the private sector take care of how much the "going wage" is? Why is it that the government thinks it needs it's hand in every little thing we do. They don't need to tell me how much I have to pay an employee. And it's not just the wages that go up, it's the social security tax and the insurance as well.
Pelosi is callijg for a 40% increase in minimum wage. A small buisiness with minimum wage employees' will be forced to lay off and fire people to stay afloat. That or increase it's prices which we will all feel.
Keep the government out. If someone doesnt' want to work for $5.50 an hour they can always got to In-n-Out burger where they start at $9.25 (Government didn't make them start people that high either)
