Miller wants to roll back the power and size of the federal government to a degree not seen for 70 years or more. We asked him, for example, if there should be a federally mandated minimum wage, something that has existed since Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938. “That is clearly up to the states,” Miller said. “The state of Alaska has a minimum wage which is higher than the federal level because our state leaders have made that determination. The minimum level again should be the state’s decision.” So there should not be a federal minimum wage? “There should not be,” Miller answered. “That is not within the scope of the powers that are given to the federal government.” blogs.alternet.org
