I've never understood the conservative minimum wage/market philosophy.
Privatize everything, let the market determine the best provider of X.
Don't raise the minimum wage, the provider will just fire workers to maintain profitability.
So we should trust the market to provide, but be wary that if they have to pay the janitor another 75 cents, they will fire him instead of reducing the CEO's salary from $20,000,000 to $19,999,925. That's business ethics for you.
