The Democrat Treasurer of North Carolina wants to make goods more expensive in North Carolina. Why? Because he may be running for governor in 2008 and wants to attract some support. Oh, why does HE claim?

"the labor market improves for low-income workers. This is because businesses actually start to do better when consumers have more money in their pockets."

Yes, he IS a Democrat.

Minimum wage laws might have been needed at one time. They are NOT needed today. Do you really think that if $2.00 an hour were offered for working at McDonald's that anyone would accept the job?

And if you are one of those who support a minimum wage, do you also support a maximum wage? If not, that doesn't make sense. If you do, what should the maximum wage be? And why only $6.15 for a minimum wage, as Mr. Moore wants? Why not $10 an hour? Why is $6.15 better than $10?

Minimum wage laws are socialist crap, no matter how you slice them. They are wrong and violently interfere with the free market. Their only real effect is to raise the prices for EVERYONE on EVERYTHING.
