Do we have too much Gov't. regulation in our lives? Could the employee and market place do a more effective job of establishing minimum wage? Does Gov't. regulation simply ensure parity between good and poor workers?
I say, have it so everyone makes min 40,000 yr.

My concern with minimum wage regulation (in the specific context of British Columbia, given the recent discussions of the issue in this province) is that a bump to minimum wage, without corresponding adjustments for those who are making above minimum wage, seems to devalue the work of the latter employees in organisations that use periodic merit-based increases. Also, there's the issue of whether it's correct to force an organisation to increase the rates of pay of any employees, were this could compromise the capacity of the organisation to maintain the same workforce. Many retailers come to mind, where the non-management employees can earn anything between $8-$16 for their work, with most at the lower end of that scale; a bump to $10 for a majority of those employees could force an organisation to lay off as many as 20% of its employees to balance its payroll budget. An increase could have more negative consequences, than it does positive.
I dunno..
maybe we don't need to base ourselves on money.
start from the top.. we all work and we get what we need to live.
nobody charges you money to buy anything..
nothing is ever priced.. you just make it.

no, i'm saying that instead of using money to make our society work, we would be able to go and get what we want and that nobody needs to get paid or be paid in order to make something. start from the top, for example
Mercedes makes their car, gets all the parts and material, don't have to pay for any of it
then they make the car, all the employees work and they don't need to get paid to live.
then we get to buy a car , but no money needs to be exchanged.
..
I just don't see why that people who aren't as fortunate as others need to suffer for it.
sure the really rich guys will not like it, but people who just need to make an honest days wage would sure appreciate it.

well if you look at it?
in reality, nobody needs to have money.. if the entire world agreed that we just do what we do and that it's not money that is the point of it all.
cause once 1 level of society requests money for their services.. then everyone else has to do the same.
if you start from the very beginning, from the producer to the buyer to the seller to the consumer..
so the producer, grows the food. they give it to the buyer, who then puts it out to the consumer.
if nobody requests money for their items, then nobody needs to pay for the item
The whole point of 'money' is a way to establish relationships in the value of goods. It's a way to say that one hour of my labour is worth $X, while a chicken breast is worth $y, so if I want a chicken breast, I need to exchange some of my labour for it. But the chicken farmer doesn't need my labour, so I'll sell my labour to someone who does, in return for money, which I can then exchange for a chicken breast.
Did you not take elementary economics? No wonder the country is in the shape it is.
why are people so afraid and so against Socialist ideals?
what you don't want to be able to buy stuff and not have to worry about whether or not you can afford it?
