    don't think so. It's the liberals that are more concerned with equality of outcomes. i.e. social justice

    Quoted for truth. Raising the minimum wage to keep up with inflation is a slap in the face to doctors, engineers and lawyers.

    I wasn't aware that doctors, engineers, and lawyers were incapable of negotiating their wages, based on the value of their labor. Which is sort of how they get the high pay they already receive.

    The entire point of minimum wage laws is to protect those workers who don't have that capacity, because the labor market, by definition, cannot be a free market; it is weighted in favor of the employers.
