RE: What Should the Minimum Wage be?
If you have wage control, how is the market truly "free?" Labor is a commodity; it is bought and sold. If applied correctly, your argument makes trade tariffs and price controls (i.e. minimum prices for gas or a pack of cigarettes) legitimate. You can't have socialism and a free market. Sorry.
At no point did I say that I wanted a completely free and ungoverned market.
...then you don't want a "free market."
