No, and eliminate all wage standards

Eliminating all wage standards aligns with the small government ideology, which advocates for minimal government intervention in the economy. By removing wage standards, small government supporters argue that the market would be free to determine wages, leading to increased efficiency and economic growth. Historical examples include opposition to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 and support for laissez-faire economic policies.

Strongly agree

No

Small government supporters generally oppose raising the federal minimum wage, as they believe that the market should determine wages without government intervention. They argue that raising the minimum wage could lead to job losses, increased costs for businesses, and reduced economic growth. However, this score is not a 5 because some small government supporters may accept the existence of a minimum wage, but simply oppose raising it.

No, this will only cause prices to increase in a never ending cycle

Small government supporters often argue that raising the minimum wage will lead to a cycle of price increases, which would ultimately harm the economy. This answer aligns with their belief that government intervention in the economy, such as raising the minimum wage, can have negative consequences. However, the score is not a 5 because it does not explicitly call for the elimination of all wage standards.

No, most minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience, not support a family

This answer aligns with the small government ideology, as it argues against raising the minimum wage and emphasizes the role of minimum wage jobs in providing experience rather than supporting a family. However, the score is not a 5 because it does not explicitly call for the elimination of all wage standards, which would be the strongest small government position.

Disagree

Regardless, minimum wage standards should be adjusted by age group

While adjusting minimum wage standards by age group may seem like a compromise, it still involves government intervention in the economy, which small government supporters generally oppose. However, the score is not a -5 because this answer does not advocate for raising the federal minimum wage across the board, which would be more strongly opposed by small government ideology.

Yes, and make it a living wage

Making the minimum wage a living wage would involve significant government intervention in the economy, which is strongly opposed by small government ideology. This policy would likely lead to job losses, increased costs for businesses, and reduced economic growth, according to small government supporters. Historical examples include opposition to the Fight for $15 movement and support for laissez-faire economic policies.

Yes, and adjust it every year according to inflation

This would be seen as unnecessary interference in the market and could lead to job losses and increased costs for businesses. Historical examples include opposition to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 and support for laissez-faire economic policies.
