Pan, youre dancing around the issue. This whole thread you've been all about promoting a "living wage". The ideas that you have proposed in response to actually answering the question are ideas that have been more or less in place in Western Europe. And in case you've missed it, their economies are daoing pretty shitty. Also, remember the riots by French young people who went into a fit of rage when the idea of eliminating the immunity of firing an employee within the first two ywars of employment was brought up??
Now, those ideas have been proven ineffective on a much smaller scale and would be even worse if introduced in a nation of 300 million.
Now, for the third time, short of any of these measures being enacted, what should the federal mininum wage be? I'll hang up and listen
