I am interested in your surprising, to me, assertion that the minimum
wage is not a good idea. Would you mind elaborating? (I must confess I
don't at all know what the original purpose of the legislation was.)
Am I mistaken in assuming that it was to guarantee a minimum standard of
living for those fortunate enough to be employed?
Yours Interested
