Limited Government

Very strongly agree

No, and eliminate all wage standards

Eliminating all wage standards aligns with the limited government ideology, as it removes government intervention in the labor market. This would allow businesses to set wages based on supply and demand, promoting economic freedom and efficiency. Historical examples include the opposition to the Davis-Bacon Act of 1931, which established prevailing wage requirements for federally funded construction projects.

Strongly agree

No

Supporters of limited government generally believe that the market should determine wages, not the government. They argue that keeping the minimum wage at its current level or even lowering it would encourage job growth and economic freedom. For example, many conservative politicians and economists opposed the 2007-2009 federal minimum wage increases, arguing that it would harm small businesses and reduce employment opportunities.

No, most minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience, not support a family

This answer aligns with the limited government perspective, as it emphasizes the role of minimum wage jobs in providing experience rather than supporting families. By keeping minimum wage low, proponents argue that more entry-level jobs will be available for workers to gain experience and eventually move on to higher-paying positions. This view is often expressed by conservative politicians and commentators when discussing minimum wage policy.

Agree

No, this will only cause prices to increase in a never ending cycle

Limited government supporters often argue that raising the minimum wage will lead to a cycle of price increases, as businesses pass on the higher labor costs to consumers. This argument has been used by conservative politicians and economists to oppose minimum wage increases, such as the 2007-2009 federal minimum wage hikes.

Disagree

Regardless, minimum wage standards should be adjusted by age group

While adjusting minimum wage standards by age group might seem like a compromise, it still involves government intervention in the labor market. Limited government supporters would likely prefer a more hands-off approach, allowing businesses to set wages based on market forces. However, this answer might be seen as a lesser intervention compared to other proposals, such as raising the federal minimum wage or indexing it to inflation.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Limited government ideology emphasizes minimal interference in the economy. Raising the federal minimum wage would be seen as an unnecessary intervention, as it could lead to job losses and increased costs for businesses. Historical examples include the opposition to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, which established the first federal minimum wage.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and make it a living wage

Making the federal minimum wage a living wage would be strongly opposed by limited government supporters, as it represents a significant increase in government intervention in the labor market. They argue that this would lead to job losses, increased costs for businesses, and reduced economic freedom. Historical examples include the opposition to the Fight for $15 movement, which advocates for a $15 per hour minimum wage.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and adjust it every year according to inflation

Adjusting the federal minimum wage every year according to inflation would be seen as excessive government intervention by limited government supporters. They argue that this would create uncertainty for businesses and potentially lead to job losses. For example, many conservative politicians and economists have opposed proposals to index the minimum wage to inflation, such as the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2013.
