Just think how many more you could hire if the minimum wage was lowered. Or eradicated altogether. The minimum wage is, ironically, a large factor of unemployment.

So many people worry about the number of jobs, they dont look at the quality. So employers tell the nation, scratch unions, scratch healthcare nothing is my problem, take minimum wage and be happy, else you destrooy zhe job market.
Then you have a few million jobs, where people cant afford healthcare cant save, cant retire on, have to choose between paying for rent or food.
I am willing to bet, those who have the means to set up a buisness are willing to do so, even if they make less when the alternative is to close shop and go earn a "honest wage".

But seriously, in real life, do math and you'll figure out that the minimum wage has helped to create much more unemployment than has helped people. Unless you say that being unemployed is a good thing.
