I don't see how doing away with the minimum wage would do anything but turn us into the type of countries that you say companies leave to go to. You really want to become Mexico etc? So classy!! Can't wait.As far as the EITC goes, it's adjusted for inflation, and the minimum wage isn't. They compliment each other. As far as your complaint about small businesses not being able to afford it etc., I think much larger tax break incentives need to be involved in the situation you're talking about 8-10 low paid employees. The minimum wage is necessary. We need to be more creative in helping the smaller businesses afford it.
