Agree. But at the end of the day, [b]I'm not interested in economic principles[/b]. I'm interested in generating an economy that works for people. [/quote]

Wow, discussing the economy without any interest in economic principles. This about sums it up for your side of the argument. Bravo! I could not have illustrated it any better myself. [/quote]

Economic principles are interesting as a thought exercise, such as your comparison between labor unions and price fixing. But the principle that should be considered is the human condition. You are trying to twist my words to make me sound dumb. But do you really want to oppose "generating an economy that works for people"?

We are in a thread talking about the economic impact of $15 minimum wage. Economic principles are at the core of the stated topic of discussion. If you want to discuss the human condition, which is a perfectly fine thing to do, then perhaps go start such a thread about it. I'm not trying to twist your words, it's quoted above for all to see. If you really cared about an economy that works for people, you should study history and make some effort to learn which economic system has been the most successful at improving people's quality of life and lifting them out of poverty conditions.

Is it the one where the collective bargaining power of people is morally equivalent to the collective bargaining power of corporations? [/quote]
