I'm not talking about tax brackets. I'm talking about wages and how people say we need to penalize earners bc they live somewhere cheap. Do we tell businesses they need to charge less bc they set up shop somewhere cheap?
My post you quoted made a suggestion on tax brackets. How is what you're saying related to my suggestion?

And the post YOU quoted from ME didn't say anything about tax brackets. I'm not required to address things I didn't bring up. You engaged with me about what I was talking about, and that's the only thing I need to address.

Because you dismissed COL completely. I was just pointing out that COL is important in certain contexts. If you read my post, the first few words were that I don't agree with the OP.

And that's a separate discussion bc your point about tax brackets doesn't change my argument. We ask earners to take a hit bc of COL and never ask businesses to do the same.
Yes... COL is a real thing, like weather. It'ss a product of where you live. No one makes the argument that you need to take a pay cut bc you don't have to pay for parkas and wool socks.
Life Explorer said he would have no problem selling diamonds in this country that were mined by kid slaves in Africa in another thread in the past.
Not his country, not his problem.
So it cuts to the heart of his philosophy.
It is not about going against evil practices or supporting good policies or even free market capitalism.
It is all about making money and if evil is involved in the process, it is ok as well if that part is outside the country.
I'm pretty sure Life Explorer is a female, I just wanted to point that out!
Owners dont have to hire. No one is forcing them to hire. An owner can do all their own work if they want. That is if they can. If they cant, someone else should take that spot over. Illegals do not count. They sending that money back to some poor country where its worth more than here. They arent even suppose to be here.
Why and who are these people willing to work for less and less I am wondering. If we are talking about homeless drug addicts; society prefers they get treatment, get sober, then rejoin society. "Unskilled" or "uneducated" persons may be the culprits. Yet, who in their right minds wants to be unskilled if given other options? But skill does not matter because the more supply at that skill level, the less demand. Perhaps there are people that just dont care, and lack ambition, and leach off parents. Or maybe we are talking about segments of the society that are just unfairly disadvantaged for one reason or another like adults who grew up in orphanage or as runaways on streets. I say those kinds of people, and those depended upon deserve some protections. MW is the least a society can do for them.
People are not your slaves!
If someone wants to accept a lower pay, that is his own decision.
As I said many times, nobody can control the price of goods and services. The real minimum wage was, has always been, and will always be zero.
By implementing your evil law, anybody who can produce more value than the minimum wage would immediately become unemployed.
