      <![CDATA[A minimum wage accomplishes precisely two things, and nothing else: It reduces the number of jobs that otherwise would be available, and it gives liberals an excuse to congratulate themselves.

      <![CDATA[Troll: You miss the point altogether. NY state telling business they must raise their workers' pay is just like NY state telling counties they must raise county taxes and spend money on what the state directs them to: ie an unfunded mandate.

      <![CDATA[Is this the same Bart that just a few weeks ago was, in this site,  bellowing, "All hail Obama," for the sheer nerve of letting the ruinous Bush tax cuts expire on the wealthiest Americans? And then now with the absurd notion that raising the minimum wage is an "unfunded mandate"?

      <![CDATA[Troll Wisperer: How does the state, by dictating minimum wage, affect 'air travel safety', 'auto safety', 'food safety' and reduced air and water pollution? Private business does not pay for any of that through wages, and TAXES pay for police and fire departments.

      <![CDATA["Unfunded mandate" here, then, also means, oh, our local police and fire departments; airline and air travel safety, safe working conditions, weekends off, food safety, auto safety, less polluted air and water, paid vacation for workers, and so on - all the things business leaders once assured us we "couldn't afford."
