How could it happen that is now offered the most absurd claims a benevolent public forum in the media, academia and politics, if only the magic word is heard socially? Opinions that are as absurd as the claim that the sun would turn around the earth or two and two is five. These absurdities include the debate over the so-called minimum wage.
had actually saints like Thomas Aquinas and the scholastic philosophers such as already recognized in the latest Middle Ages, that there is a fair wage is not, either because the wages always rises to the purely subjective eye of the recipient of a service. The wage is therefore exactly as high as to pay a public or a large number of consumers for a product or service is ready. Is it unfair that footballers, Show-offs or Formula 1 drivers as much and earn as little postman?
The question has already been completely wrong, for they are the consumers themselves who decide who deserves as much, even if they complain about allegedly unfair wages at the same time. So if you want to do something for mail delivery must be prepared instead of a few cents to pay 20 or 50 € per letter. These are orders of magnitude as the average ticket prices for football players, or show stars admire Formula 1 drivers to. And who wants to hurt last big earners should simply not buy fan merchandise, tickets or more records.
The only work which can never be, arbitrary price-fixing by the state or other coercive cartels: Was it fair that a bus driver in the former Soviet Union or East Germany as much deserved as a doctor or a teacher? Could it be that it was the reason that so many performers of East Germany came under mortal danger the back?
Who wants to ever presume to decide about which pay for Millions of people is fair? Does Mr. Gysi, Mr. Lafontaine, Mr. Steinmeier and Mr. Sommer may be the performance of each minimum wage in order to decide the right pay? And what is the correct wage level: 7.50, 8.00 or 10.00 €?
It would be desirable if all people in Germany as providers and consumers voluntarily and democratically themselves could decide on the amount of each payment. Why call for politicians and trade unions minimum wage? It is very simple: Should make politicians, officials and other ideologues of the free decision of the public, if it is about their own pay, they would experience pain that consumers attach to political "benefits" not very high. Maybe one or the other for pocket money as a shock to be invited to the party or birthday party hired as Black Peter.
know as opposed to the absurd slogans of some professional demagogues, people instinctively that there is an inevitable economic law of nature, which always lead to high wages to unemployment and low wages are to labor shortages. Only crazy dictatorships was believed to be able to implement these laws of nature. Interestingly, in Germany in 1934 with the law to order the national working a minimum wage introduced (see: http://iufberlin.wordpress.com/2008/08/22/unliebsame-vordenker/ ). As this and the subsequent experiment in the eastern part of Germany have ended, should hopefully be announced.
