Don't enforce a minimum wage. Remove income tax. And subsidise EVERYONE.
History shows this just hurts the poor.

No, it would actually improve matters.

Instead of cheap labour being in China,it would be right there on your
doorstep.

Do you seriously think reducing western labour rates to a couple of dollars a DAY would help
the poor ?

Yup.

I'm sorry, but you've totally 'lost the plot'.

In the likes of China or India a couple of dollars a day is a liveable wage because of the low
cost of basic goods and services in these highly managed economies. Without those ARTIFICIALLY low
costs, such wages are unsustainable.
