Minimum wage and the highest mark.

I am elated. My first essay of the year got me a 90%, and the highest mark in the class! Since I know you're all dying to read it, I've provided an abstract below to whet your appetite and a link to the PDF. If you do read it, let me know your opinion!


Minimum Wage and Inflation: A vicious
circle surrounding minimum wage,
inflation, and the working poor.


"Setting a minimum wage to help raise lowest paid workers out of poverty is causing more problems than it solves, rendering it more of a burden than a relief. Instead of helping to lift lowest paid workers above the poverty line, the policy instead creates a burden on the economy and small business, causing inflation to rise. Therefore minimum wage policy hurts the workers for whom it is designed to assist. This model of alleviating poverty is not working and new policy that does not contribute towards inflation should be sought."
