What’s the Point?
Wulf saw the below cartoon, and asked:
I find that most editorial cartoons are really good at communicating a really bad point. Usually, it is that so-and-so is stupid. I am not sure that this one by Etta Hulme is any different in that respect, but I find it very interesting. I hope it can spark some conversation – I’d like to hear some opinions on it. Is there a fair point being made? Talk to me.
I think the point is quite clear.
According to minimum wage opponents, we believe that arbitrarily increasing the cost of labor will have a corresponding increase in the cost of goods and services which use that labor.
Well, what’s happened in government? Over 9 years, we’ve seen an enormous arbitrary increase in the salaries of people who make our laws. What’s happened to the federal budget (i.e. the cost of government)? Enormous increases!
