This week's mystery quotes:
“The basic effect of an increase in the minimum wage … would be to
intensify the cruel competition among the poor for scarce jobs....Minimum wage legislation has no place in a
strategy to eliminate poverty.”
Here's another clue. Same source:
"There’s a virtual consensus among economists that the minimum wage is
an idea whose time has passed,” ... “Raise the legal minimum price
of labor above the productivity of the least skilled workers and few
will be hired,” ....“The idea of using
a minimum wage to overcome poverty is old, honorable — and
fundamentally flawed. It’s time to put this hoary debate behind us, and
find a better way to improve the lives of people who work very hard for
very little.”
Koch Bros? Scott Walker? Ron Reagan? Barry Goldwater? Cruella deVille? Sykes? Marquis deSade?
Nah. Go to this link. It's delicious.
