A very reasonable argument why a federally mandated, one-size-fits-all minimum wage should not exist. Minimum wage should be driven by local economic standards.Not to mention that it varies by local. $15/hr is too little in New York, NY, but relatively rich in Tupelo, MS.

------------------------------------------ SURE , but all they are is Farmers . They need the business so they are not doing any person that eats a favor Freewill .
Not sure why your farmer supplied shorts are in a knot. Farming is a career choice just like anything else. I am really, really glad there are people will and able to do it. I really do not wish to butcher my own cows, even though I would if I had too.
The government doesn't set the standard, just like the minimum wage should be driven by the economy and it was never meant to be a livable wage, as far as I know.
Do any liberals understand the difference between having a green card and illegal immigration?
It wouldn't surprise me that Mexico would f..k themselves to try and hurt the US. Only simpletons would think that Mexico would go down the path of Venezuela .
Oh please, speak for yourself or STFU.
-------------------------------------------- as Bodecea says in this thread , he grows most or much of his food and that may be the case with me . Its no big deal growing food , most American grew food for themselves in the earlier America and they did barter and trade . i said earlier , i don't like the elevation of any group of people over any other . I may be a farmer or a roofer , a cop or a doctor . In the USA we ALL work to eat and pay the bills . Without roofers and cops the farmers would have food perhaps but they need roofers and cops to BUY their food using money Freewill .
Not, obviously who you want to boost is YOURSELF. Wow.
If you just would make a little sense it might be an interesting discussion. Of course farmers are part of society just like bankers. But we would live without bankers. Right now farmers are doing such a wonderful job I can afford not to grow a lot of food.
------------------------------------------------- you probably couldn't survive without farmers , same for all your other keepers and protectors Freewill .
Once upon a time, farm help showed up at the door and asked for work. Typical compensation for a day's work included at least one hot meal and a dry place to sleep. If the help was of longer standing, the farmer paid what was available as excess, usually goods, room and board. Farmers didn't usually realized any cash income until the end of their season when crops and livestock were sold at market. At that point, the farmer would set aside what was needed to buy the next season's raw materials (seed and stock). Any remaining cash might have been shared with a hand who had stayed for the season. Works like that with commercial fishing up here still. Hands hire on and go out, receiving room and board while working as well as a share of the take when the haul is sold at market. That's how it works with many small producers in seasonal businesses. Whatever the hands agree to accept should be fine with government. Mandatory wages are an unreasonable burden upon the owners of the means of production.
They won't, so they'll go out of business. Just like the textile industry left the US (remember when the last US Levi's factory closed?), several food sources will be imported from other nations; probably Mexico due to proximity. Sure, much of staple food farming is automated and corporate run so things like wheat and corn will still be here.
