Should we at least go back to the minimum wage of 1968?

[QUOTE=Akrazotile]Germany didnt have a minimum wage until 2015, and had one of the highest qualities of life for decades prior.

They only instituted it once they started bringing in a surplus of cheap labor to water down the cost of hiring. Adding a minimum wage was a facade to assuge the public and make the government

Plato is right on this one. Minimum wage has always been a scam because it gives people a number to settle on without having to think about or negotiate a rate based on relative purchasing power at the given time.

Plato also said the income of the highest paid member of society should never be more than 5x that of the lowest paid.

Vancouver has a minimum wage of $12.65 despite the fact that average cost of living in the greater Vancouver area requires a 6 figure family income. (Only city in all of North America I believe)

I know real estate is expensive in vancouver, but there is no way in hell that cost of living in the couve is higher than cities like NY and SF
