Why am I responsible for your lack of comprehension?
He, (i.e. Higginbottom) clearly says that he'd hire unskilled labor to carry supplies...or dig holes....if the law allowed him to pay what that level of skill called for.
Further...I called your bluff: you won't reach into your pocket....you'd rather reach into the employer's.
Political Chick, Why am I responsible for your lack of comprehension?
The federal minimum wage rate is THE minimum rate we're discussing. It did not prevent Higginbottom from hiring anyone (unless he intended to pay them less than $7.25/Hr). The FMW rate certainly to some extent supports all USA wages and salaries but thats the limit of its relativity to your narration regarding the conditions of Higginbittoms labor recruitment problems.
Your narration regarding Higginbottom is not germane to the FMW.
I suppose youre correct; we, (you and I) wouldnt reach into our personal pockets for reasons no better than subsidizing employers net incomes.
My father was as close as Ill ever come to encountering an angel and his son is not as altruistic.
But I would support the reduction or elimination of Medicare, (which is both economically and socially justified), if it was accompanied by the elimination of the unjustified tax reduction granted for long term capital gains incomes and the entire revenue savings were dedicated to our government promoting a better economy for my fathers great grandchildren.

"THE minimum rate we're discussing. It did not prevent Higginbottom from hiring anyone (unless he intended to pay them less than $7.25/Hr)."
Who the heck are you to decide that carrying drywall is worth whatever some bureaucrat says it is worth?
Or collect nails left on the jobsite"
Or getting coffee for workers?
Get you hand out of their pocket.
That's between labor and management.
You don't like it?
Cough up your own bucks, Lefty.
