I have a question for those who oppose welfare, school subsidies & minimum wage laws.
Assume you have a 2 person family, both working minimum wage (total of about $25k a year household income). Because they are poor, the gov. pays for their medical costs, and much of their college. A few years down the road, they both graduate and make enough to support themselves.
Without minimum wage laws, they would make around $15k a year. With no school subsudies they wouldn't have money to pay for college (no grants, no loans, no state subsidies), and if an accident happened, they would never work their way out of poverty.
What is wrong with a little long range planning? All you are doing is cushioning people from the dangers of the world while they try to up their productivity by learning skills.
