Whats the difference? Either the government should be able to tell businesses what to pay their employees or they shouldn't. people say the minimum wage should equal the cost of living. Well, in that respect the minimum wage should be at least 30k per year. At least. The only way to make minimum wage = 30k is to have the government also put a wage ceiling on compensation. So not only do we have a "livable" minimum wage that equals the cost of living, we're also dictating what the owner of a business can pay himself. Thats not even a stone's throw away from socialism. It is socialism. You can have it one way or the other. But not both.
