Where will the money for base wage come from? People's taxes? so if you lessen the amount of people working then wouldn't that lead to less tax money for the government?
It's easy. Pass a law making the minimum wage $1,000 per hour.
Problem solved.
It's so easy I often wonder why the authoritarian collectivists didn't think of this sooner.
Grand Idea while we at it, we should give free 401K with that base wage.
