Subtract 5 million low skilled workers and you'd raise the minimum wage

Indeed.

Upping the min. wage isn't necessarily a bad idea as long as it is done LOCALLY

We should also cap corporate profits. No reason companies need to make as much

RalphWiggam

Exactly. Give it to the govt because they know what is best for everyone!

But we could make exceptions for things like green companies! Fantastic!

Why not... "Every man according to his need."
