Minimum Wage Resources

To effectively counter the liberals' deceptive minimum wage proposal, you need facts. I have compiled a number of articles on the minimum wage (mw) that I will make available here for anyone interested in researching the subject. What follows are one-sentence summaries of the articles.

Paul Jacob argues that the minimum wage increases unemployment.
The liberal group ACORN refuses to pay its own workers the mw.
Many people are legally paid below the mw.
The mw causes unemployment of teenagers.
The mw is a perfect example of liberal economics.
For a long time, the New York Times opposed the mw.
Taxpayers pay for living wage laws.
The living wage rhetoric is deceptive.

A new Wal-Mart was flooded with applications.
Why not legislate minimum stock prices?
The mw causes massive unemployment.
Unions are conspiring against Wal-Mart.
The historical example of Henry Ford supports the free market, not the mw.

Why not raise the mw $100 per hour?
This is a detailed study on the mw.
