| Message | A minimum wage is very fair. Too high a minimum wage will prevent companies from hiring more workers, and therefore will increase unemployment, in turn reducing the wealth that we are able to redistribute and increasing the social differences between those who have a well-paid job (middle class) and those who have been left unemployed because of too high a minimum wage (mostly the uneducated, who will become poorer) Thalissa Wiggins SLP House Speaker |
