Problem is government. Governments don't fix problems, they create them.

Wasn't the minimum wage created for a specific problem a century ago?

I just asked the same question, kind of  :thumbsup:

I said a specific problem. Can you tell us that problem? How did it expand to a catch all?
With all these lawyers with cameras on the street I'm shocked we have so much crime in the world.
This challenge to law and order is always the start to loosing our constitutional rights.
How come nobody was interested in educating people about these rights until online videos got monetization?

Minimum wage started in the late 19th century where women and children working in sweatshops. Century and a half later, are people still being underpaid in sweatshops in America?

So you're saying minimum wage was started to end child labor?

Provide a source please. I want to read the whole context

I shouldn't use the word "child". Young people would be a better word in this case. Regardless of who is working, the focus is on the sweatshop conditions. Do we still have sweatshop conditions in America?

Please provide the source you used to find out why we have a minimum wage.

We have to start from the same point of reference or we'll be talking in circles and never agree on anything.
