Instead of demanding that minimum wages be repealed or checkpoints be ended, Americans would rather beg for their chains by asking for more laws.

Insanity.

Most of today's problems have arisen since wages have been stagnant ... as you can easily see.

This establishes that if increases in real wages should be necessary for getting America out of an economic bind (such as an inchoate depression), then a solution that involves wage increases can work.

Consequences of stagnant wages include a high level of employee turnover, an in ordinate number of personal bankruptcies, the death of many retail businesses, and a low birth rate.

I am guessing that much of the increase in productivity results from technological advances -- but that suggests that scientists and engineers should be paid extraordinarily well... but they aren't.
