If this was rolled back first nonskilled
minimum wage workers
vould be given a choice of taking a
vage cut or having to compete with
someone willing to take less pay

rain an unskilled worker at bare
ubsistence rates of pay.
This has happened before and
vill continue to happen with
lutomation of equipment making it
:heaper to fire highly skilled
vorkers, pay them a pension and
lire unskilled workers to perform
he same task on simpler equipnent.

My particular skill in medical

You might roll back minimum
vage but why not go all the way
md roll back child labor laws,
;afety standards and all environmental
legislation because
hey all absorb some of the com>anies
