If an employer is free to pay any wage to which an employee agrees, a landlord should be free to offer any housing to which a tenant agrees. Why do you have a problem with this?

[eqttrdr]

instead of raising the minimum wage they need to install a maximum salary cap just like pro sports. Once as a business owner you make the MAX you are now capped and have to distribute the profits of your company to the rest of your employees based on loyalty and performance metrics.


The problem lies NOT in the minimum wage but the fact that all executive level pay and most business owner pay is out of control.

Enforcing a salary cap on everyone would also create a better product, better service and a larger middle class. The min wage workers now work 100x as hard as if they make the owner more money and hit the cap everyone underneath profits. This way no matter what you do, flip burgers or an accountant you are 100000% focused on growing the company.

Workers might then be able to afford the exorbitant rents which prevail these days.

But the basic assumption that allowing tens of millions of uneducated, unskilled illegals into this country keeps free market wages of low skilled jobs down is correct?

Then $150/hour would ensure workers can live a fabulous life!

Yes, as long as it meets zoning restrictions.

If that is the case, workers need a free market in housing and the resulting greater supply of housing.

The majority of workers today earn between $15 and $150 per hour. Therefore the majority of workers would object, therefore $150 per hour is a FAIL.

Think.
