| Date | 20:19:08, February 05, 2007 CET | From |  Democratic Party of Dorvik | To | Debating the Proposition for the Complete and Utter Removal of the Minimum Wage |
| Message | The minimum wage increases inflation, reduces employment of new workers and investments on businesses and creates government bureaucracy, causing inefficiency, corruption, abuse and extra tax expenses. The enterprises can compensate the minimum wage by extra vacation days, sports programs or some other ways: in succesful enterprises there are also motivated employees and the power of the trade unions & risk of strikes balance the removal of minimum wage limit. We support the bill. |
