If a market exists for low-paid work, then we should think about how we can make this type of work more attractive by providing government assistance. of course, the wage-earner must be able to live off of his wages. we will not allow poverty wages or dumping wages. but the wage earner can receive a combined wage that includes both his actual wages and a government subsidy.

More From Angela Merkel

You can keep raising it, but at some point, everybody who believes in a minimum wage will say, "no, wait a minute. that's too much," and at that point, you have demonstrated that that there's no market relationship. you're just talking emotion. you're just talking "fairness." you're just talking being nice, and that's not how the market works. people aren't paid a wage because they're being nice to, or because it's fair. in the market, the market rules.

Sharp increases in the minimum wage rate are also inflationary. frequently workers paid more than the minimum gauge their wages relative to it. this is especially true of those workers who are paid by the hour. an increase in the minimum therefore increases their demands for higher wages in order to maintain their place in the structure of wages. and when the increase is as sharp as it is in h.r. 7935, the result is sure to be a fresh surge of inflation.

When a fissure off the california coast started pumping and dumping oil on the nearby towns and beaches, everybody started dumping on union oil. matters weren't helped one iota by a manufactured quotation attributed to union's president, fred hartley, alleging his amazement at the publicity for the loss of a few birds.... fred hartley never said what the press reported, as the transcript and the senate committee members definitely established. but i don't suppose the truth will ever catch up with the more colorful falsehood.
