    I dont make very much at all. I dont think people should be making $15 an hour to START. Maybe there shoukd be minimum increases based on length of employment, etc, but $15 for an entry level job is too much. Or maybe base the starting wage on local economics, as pj soul eluded to.

    Even for those with college degrees? $15/ hour would be less than $32k/ year.
    Pay them $200/hr.
    Why not 0.25$

    Libertarian wages for everyone!

    You wouldn't be when your options were 25 cents an hour or no job.

    In a free society who are you to tell me what I should make or earn? You don't own me. I own me.

    Your entire argument in raising a min wage reeks of desperation and zero understanding of economics. Why do you think the government wants it raised? Do you seriously believe that it is so people can have more money?

    A free society lol. That's rich. You don't advocate a free society, you advocate a slave society. You advocate a utopia where capital holds more power than government and they magically hold back on using that power to subjugate labor out of the good of their hearts.
    Zero understanding of economics lol
    That's even richer! Your system failed. Miserably. As bad as communism, if not worse.

    Why does the government want minimum wage raised? Well, only half the government does, and maybe, just maybe, it's because that is the will of the electorate??? Shocking thought, that politicians want to be re-elected. Nahhh, it must be a conspiracy to keep black people in the ghetto, yeah, that makes more sense.

    That's a joke right? You haven't made even a cursory defense.
    You act like it's all so simple that everyone who doesn't get it is a fool, and yet you can't answer the simplest questions.
    You say "muh roads" but you can't explain the rebuttal.
    You say "societes can't exist without government?" sarcastically but, you can't name one that has.

    You don't have rebuttal for anything, you have only catchphrases.

    It's not really worth my time discussing anything with you because no matter what I can't convince a bootlicker not to like the taste of leather.

    The mere idea that people can't run their own lives without a ruling class to tell them what to do is ludicrous and despite my attempts to illustrate such you prefer to come back with stupid replies like "move to Somalia".

    In other words you bore me.

    That's some serious arrogance from someone who can't answer simple questions.
    That's a typical libertarian response, in my experience.
    Maybe someday a libertarian will deign to come down from their lofty domain and prove that they can answer simple questions with tangible answers grounded in reality, but until then, I will have to assume none are capable of doing so.

    Calling me a bootlicker is a bit offensive isn't it?
    I'd bet real money that my life is more than twice as self-sufficient asyours, but I suppose it isn't worth the pissing contest.

    You're trying to deny basic human nature. If left alone with no government, say on Monday it was completely eliminated. After our 4 day Libertarian party, we're all going to start organizing in groups, and people being people, we'll sometimes do things to step on others toes. Naturally we're going to come up with a set of rules and a way to enforce these rules. All animals do this. What the rules are and how they are enforced is where the debate needs to happen. You go so far out there that you're trying to say everyone makes there own rules. I'm assuming this a big part of your own identity which is why you hold onto it so strongly.

    Where do you guys keep coming up with this Libertarian thing? Because I'm not a Democrat or Republican I'm a Libertarian now? If I were I'd vote for Johnson, but I'm not voting.
