your argument has validity against a single blanket federal minimum wage, but it fails to address the fact that the federal government has a legitimate interest in (living) wage levels (again, because of its jurisdiction over interstate/international trade). states also have an interest in wage levels. the balance being debatable is my point.
The single blanket federal minimum wage is the whole argument on this thread. It's not my argument, it's Rayiner's. I mean, it's a lot of people's, it's a very well-known argument, but he's the one who introduced it to this thread.
