Minimum Wage and Labor Laws
We oppose minimum wage implemented at the Federal Level as these laws
distort the nature of the markets and with adequate employee
protections no wage minimums are needed. Any government that can
institute a minimum wage law can institute a maximum wage law and that
puts the brakes on the American Dream. A government that tells the
people that they cannot work for a lesser wage are duty bound to take
care of that person through a system of welfare where the government
forcibly takes from one citizen and gives to another citizen. This was
never the intention of our government and though protections are needed
for the workers the regulation of wages opens a Pandora's box of the
government interfering with our everyday lives if we allow wage laws.
There are better alternative laws to ensure that labor earns a just
wage.
