There you go again, Tim. Retreating into theory and avoiding facts. One of the problems with running off to to those forums you use instead of gathering facts and actually thinking is these shallow responses. Yeah, I suppose the relevant laws could be interpreted so broadly, but do you have any proof that they have been in the states under question? Do you have any numbers, any sort of proof at all? Or is it you usual handwaving "could be true" blather you usually engage in? You don't, do you? You have convinced yourself that the state.minimum wage laws might not apply to anyone therefore they must not apply to anyone. But that isn't the way reality works. You make the claims, you provide the proof. As it stands, the experiments have been made. The results are not compelling. This is consistent with historical models prior to the minimum wage. In areas where there were unions, which tend to put floors on wages, a defacto minimum wage as it were, the economies were much more robust than areas that lacked unions. Even when you control for demographics, in other words before and after an area unionized, this was still true. Sonl there are credible counter-examples. Bottom line, the author of the original post, and by extension you, is FOS.
