As an unemployed (seeking employment) college student, I was thinking that it would be a rather swell Idea to abolish the minimum wage allowing businesses to pay whatever they wanted to people forcing more competition and allowing more jobs to open up along with other employers being able to continue to afford all of the benefits to current (and future) employees. Some of you might worry that the worker actually gets shafted here because he/she will not be making enough money to have a living wage to which I say that $3/hour is considerably better than $0.
I categorically oppose the minimum wage, but grudgingly accept that a lot of people like it, but in times of high unemployment, how is it not the best course of action?
