[QUOTE="Flipx99, post: 2295679, member: 562352"] Prices would, wages wouldn't. Just like when the cause for raising the minimum wage is raised. It actually hurts middle-income the most because they shop at fast food and resturants whose employment base is minimum-wage based folks. As the price of produce goes up, so does the price of eating out, etc. I am unsure how it would spill over into, say heavy industry however. It depends. I don't have much insight into the overhead in produce. If the owners are just pocketing the extra funds ( minimum wage - what they actually pay) then the wages may not increase that much. If the market has much less margin, then prices would increase inversley to that margin. (lower margin would have a higher increase) I am saying they should not be allowed to do so. It is immoral to exploit, even if the exploited choose to be exploited. It's kind of like a girl who would love to have *** with you, and you tell her to steal something for you and you would. If she does steal and you do have *** with her, that is wrong. Even though she was willingly exploited, it is still wrong. [/QUOTE]
