I get what you are saying, but increasing the min wage is more simple and distorts the market less.

why distort the market at all??? We could send 20 million illegals home tomorrow, create 20 million new jobs, and cause huge upward free market pressure on wages


we could eliminate highest corporate tax in would and let the free market bring back 20 million additional new jobs and create more huge pressure on wages!!p

exactly when liberals invite in 20 million illegals that causes a market distortion- it takes 20 million jobs from Americans and drives down wages


when liberals saddle corporations with highest taxes in world that causes a huge distortion as they move 10 million jobs off shore that employ non Americans off shore.

Liberals distortions here and in USSR and Red China are wer stupid beyond words

Also sending home illegals would result in less demand in the US, so that would cause job losses.
