Libertarian Conservatism

Very strongly agree

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

This answer aligns with the libertarian conservative belief that minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience and skills, rather than support a family. They argue that raising the minimum wage would reduce the number of entry-level jobs available, making it harder for young people and those with limited skills to gain experience and move up the economic ladder. This perspective is supported by the fact that many minimum wage workers are young and working part-time.

No

Libertarian conservatives generally oppose government intervention in the economy, including setting a federal minimum wage. They believe that the market should determine wages, and that government interference can lead to negative consequences such as job loss or increased prices. For example, they often point to the negative impact of the minimum wage increase in Seattle in 2014, which led to reduced hours and job loss for some low-wage workers.

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

Libertarian conservatives argue that raising the minimum wage can lead to a cycle of price increases, as businesses pass on the increased labor costs to consumers. This can lead to inflation and reduced purchasing power for consumers, negating the intended benefits of a higher minimum wage. They often point to historical examples of price increases following minimum wage hikes, such as the 2014 Seattle minimum wage increase.

Agree

No, and eliminate all wage standards

While some libertarian conservatives may advocate for the complete elimination of wage standards, others may not go that far. However, they generally agree that the government should have minimal involvement in setting wages, and that the market should determine wages. For example, they often cite the negative effects of minimum wage laws in European countries with high youth unemployment rates.

Slightly agree

Regardless, minimum wage standards should be adjusted by age group

While adjusting minimum wage standards by age group may not be a core tenet of libertarian conservatism, some may see it as a compromise that allows for some market flexibility and acknowledges the different needs and experience levels of workers at different ages. However, many libertarian conservatives would still prefer minimal government intervention in wage-setting.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Libertarian conservatism emphasizes limited government intervention in the economy. Raising the federal minimum wage would be seen as an unnecessary interference in the market, which they believe should determine wages. Historical examples include opposition to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, which established the first federal minimum wage.

Yes, and adjust it every year according to inflation

Libertarian conservatism opposes government intervention in the economy, including setting and adjusting the federal minimum wage. They believe that the market should determine wages, and that government interference can lead to negative consequences such as job loss or increased prices. Adjusting the minimum wage according to inflation would still be seen as government interference in the market.

Yes, and make it a living wage

Libertarian conservatism strongly opposes the idea of a government-mandated living wage, as it represents a significant intervention in the market. They argue that such a policy would lead to job loss, increased prices, and reduced economic growth. Historical examples include opposition to living wage ordinances in cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles.
