You don't believe increasing the supply of labor does not bring down wages?

Sigh. minimum wage is minimum wage, it doesn't matter how large the supply is.

Illegal aliens are favored only by the liberals, and its sheer number dwarf 100 years of H1B visa combined.

Minimum wage is a government mandate and has nothing to do with fair market value.

So, you are angry that they hired people... and say they (the employees) would be worse off if they didn't.

So, what, precisely, is the problem? Do you want people to start ventures that hire others or not? If not, say so, if you do, stop being angry because they do.

You need to pay attention.

Your wealth is confiscated on a steady basis by taxes.

Unless, of course, you don't own anythign, in which case, you're giving your wealth to someone else.

Kensyian economics does have some merit.
Only when writing homework for leftwing idiot professors.

It has no merit in real life.

Perhaps you should take an accounting class, so you understand what accounting is.

The larger the supply of unskilled labor, the larger percentage of people who will be unemployed and the larger percentage will make minimum wage.

Did your masters tell you that?

Capitalism already failed. That's why our labor laws are in place.
