| Message | We ALREADY have a welfare system in place to make sure everyone has what they need. This results in a "de facto" minimum wage since companies must pay higher than welfare pays or workers will choose to remain on welfare. A minimum wage on top of that will only cause unemployment and welfare dependency. |
