His concept of "wage slavery" would be valid in a market where employers didn't compete to hire and retain the best workers. It falls on it's face however when it's pointed out that employers compete with other employers for employees and THAT is what drives wage increases...not government interference through higher minimum wages! What the economically naïve like Daniel believe is that raising minimum wages is a good thing for the poor and in fact it is about as bad a thing as you could possible do because of the way it shrinks entry level jobs. What an artificially high minimum wage does the best is to keep the young and those without job skills from getting jobs. If that's your goal then you're all for a high minimum wage!
What I find most laughable about his ideas is that he thinks unemployment compensation should be given to every unemployed person. Even if they quit their job. Even if they refuse to work. He just wants a check for doing nothing. And he wants people who work to have to pay him.
LOL...well he needs to have some way to help all the people without job skills that he's going to make jobless with his fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage, Winter! He's going to create a massive pool of people who never will get a job and will become permanent members of the "unemployed caste"!
What's amusing is that he thinks the people who DO work are going to be fine with higher taxes on THEIR wages to help pay for the new entitlement program for those who never will work!
