I think it's fine, as long as you don't push the government to force your boss to pay you $15/hour to flip burgers.

Probably so.
Should the government be able to force your boss to pay $100/hour for unskilled labor?

Kind of takes away the responsibility of the kids because they live at home and have not yet grown up and accepted responsibility. Of course I am sure you can come up with some good reasons that you believe this is good. So why not make it 30 or 40 and make it even better? Keep them in the entitlement zone.

I rest my case.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.
