it struck me today that one reason why wages haven't been driven up by the forces of the market is the prison-industrial complex; with prison labor available for pennies per hour, and record numbers of prisoners, there's no upward pressure.
Moonbeam is proposing a rise in minimum wage to $10 by 2016, which is likely to be meaningless by that date but still serves to push the statist agenda.
