> As to your point about minimum wage: how does increasing the cost of labor ensure that more people will have work? When you are unemployed, you cannot support yourself.
Increasing the cost of labor ensures labor can support itself. If a job doesn't exist, the social safety net steps in and ensures you can survive. That's how every other first world country works.
As a citizen, you have basic rights. As a corporation, you do not. A citizen is entitled to survival, a corporation is not entitled to cheap labor.
