I would be strongly in favor of eliminating the minimum wage, if we had an appropriately socialized system of food, water, clothing, and job training distribution. But that's never going to happen.<p>I have a nearly unlimited amount of viewpoints on political matters, but more and more I think it's almost irrelevant. Politics seems like this kind of fun thing where we can have infinitely many new and continuing arguments, but this arguing is never going to accomplish anything. I'm not a senator, and even senators quickly become jaded and cynical at how little actual power their high status provides.
