Flashback: Bernie Sanders Gets Republican Leader Lamar Alexander To Admit He Wants To Abolish The Minimum Wage

[basquebromance]

No minimum wage at all. Not 15 dollars. not 10 dollars. not 7.25 dollars. not 5 dollars. not 1 dollar.

if an employer could find someone desperate enough to take a job for fifty cents an hour, then that employer can employ him.

Alexander might as well have said that employers could eat cake and the workers could scramble for whatever crumbs fall off the table.

Of course there shouldn't be minimum wage. What a worker and employer agree on is none of the government's business. It's a private matter like any transaction. All the minimum wage does is bankrupt businesses, spike prices, and force the least skilled workers out of the workforce. Let the market determine wages.
