I don't think you're being very fair Garinda. Your posts read with quite a condescending manner. You know very well that even people with far more experience than yourself argue for and against the minimum wage. I do not agree with Nickleson on the minimum wage itself, but I do understand exactly what he means by price floor, despite having never done an economics GCSE/A-level. It appears pretty logical to me.

Nickleson you mentioned tax credits, which is an important point for low paid workers. What I'd like to see is low paid workers completely lifted out of the taxation system. We recently saw income tax of everybody on the minimum wage double from 10% to 20% which just seems quite ridiculous to me as it hurts the lowest paid in society the most.
