Is having a minimum wage a good idea?

If so why?

Yeah - if you pay people too little you end up with general social degradation as you have a large class of working poor. This causes shit like more strain on health care systems, more crime, lower social progress, etc. The idea is you want as many as people possible earning a living wage or more.

And more vitally, if they are not given enough to live off of, they will [i]take[/i] enough to live off of which can start at crippling strikes and end with violence directed at the employing class.
