The Supreme Court ruled it to be constitutional back in 1941.
Yes, and Woodrow Wilson threw people in prison for passing out anti-war pamphlets, and that was ruled constitutional as well. The Constitution means whatever 5 people say it means; there is no requirement that it bears any relationship to the text.
A unanimous Supreme Court, in a famous opinion by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., concluded that defendants who distributed leaflets to draft-age men, urging resistance to induction, could be convicted of an attempt to obstruct the draft, a criminal offense... The Woodrow Wilson Administration launched a broad campaign of criminal enforcement that resulted in thousands of prosecutions. Many of these were for trivial acts of dissent

Well if Congress doesn't like the Supreme Court's decision from 1941, they could always try to override it, that is how our government was formed. But until then, if the Supreme Court says it is constitutional then it is constitutional.
The federal minimum wage should be repealed. Congress does not have the constitutional authority to establish a minimum wage, a maximum wage, or wages of any kind. If States want to establish a minimum wage, they have that constitutional authority. Whereas the federal government does not.
Considering that all 50 States already have an established minimum wage, and most of those States are higher than the federal minimum wage, a repeal of the federal minimum wage will have absolutely no effect except to bring the federal government one tiny step closer to being in compliance with the US Constitution.
Yes sir. Liberals don't care thought they want to moan and wail how nothing is fair. States need to take their rights back.
You should get paid your worth in a company. If your worth two bucks then that is it. If your worth fifty bucks then that is what it is. Now folks cry because they think they should be worth fifteen bucks to dump fries into a bin an put em in a container??? LOL
Ending minimum wage would mean all wages would go down so if you make min wage now then your wage would be $3 to $4. Crimes would increase as people desperate to survive. As cost of living creases min wage should increase every 3 yrs so people would not have to be homeless
The people who fund the GOP have a vested interest in wages going down relative to GDP and productivity.
They've done a great job of convincing people that cheaper is better.

So by your standards, you don't have a problem with throwing people in jail for distributing pamphlets, as long as the SCOTUS says it's OK?
It's a joke to pay somebody fifteen bucks to dump fries. Every high school kid in the nation will be going to fast food restraunts and the folks you want to "save" will be looking for a job.
