Debate: Should the minimum wage be abolished?
Side: No.

Heres things, your pushing the system back to the way a small group of survivors would have worked if they were stranded, they would all work and all get the same amount of everything. We are not currently in a survival situation, by eliminating trade not only are you ruining any sense of economy but your going to slow down human progress.It wouldn't be back to that way but it would have similarities. Same amount of everything would also not be exactly true (people have different preferences and needs).Actually, we are always in a survival state. If we one day decided to stop doing what we do each day (go to work) it would get ugly really fast. Just being alive means we are surviving.No no no, its an ideology that could work, not would work, if you want to help people go ahead im not stopping you but don't drag everyone else down with a utopian ideology.It would not ruin economy and it would not slow down human progress, it would speed up human progress. Currently science is behind money, if no money is directed toward some projects then there will be no activity. With no money there would always be optimum activity if people and resources were available. Their work would not be based on money, it would be based on getting it done and once done then moving on. Currently money dictates what gets done and what won't.No no no, its an ideology that could work, not would work, if you want to help people go ahead im not stopping you but don't drag everyone else down with a utopian ideology.It could and it would if it were done. Utopian? That's rather stupid. Utopia is subjective and impossible, there would always be some issues. The only difference is there would be less than are currently.What is the deal with US and money? You like money so much? Without even realizing it's bad, considering there is a better way. Are you afraid of losing money? So afraid that you won't even try to imagine a world without it with an objective mind?Yeah, there would be no economic lowpoints because there would be almost no economy and you'd be acting like were in a survival situation.Economy does not mean the use of money...Survival... there's nothing more important. If we died then everything we have done so far would be for nothing, all pointless. Our existence is constant survival.Just because you make a profit from a worker or product doesn't mean its over priced, and don't forget your free to stop buying that product or work somehwere else at anytime, no one is stopping you.You didn't get what I meant. Some put an example and then almost everyone else will follow. Too high prices everywhere, too low wages everywhere, or just for most people.The profit, they literally don't need that much money. It's called greed.Yes it would, do you have no understanding of how power and people work? There will always be a power and a way for people to get more and by human nature we will try to go for it,People would notice if someone would be abusing power. What would they use it for? To make the economy money-based again?Isn't human nature something that applies to all humans? Being greedy is not human nature. I'm not greedy. Neither does everyone want power.Not giving away your excess is not greed, its called benefiting from your labor.Keeping something that could be used for something better than just keeping it is being greedy. No money means there will be no profits, everything will go into circulation or be stored till comes time for use. Profit is unused excess. The only benefits people gain from labor is what gets done by their work. Working just to get more money... seriously, that's messed up.ITS. NOT. ABOUT. MONEY. Its about power, money can be used for power, most people in political positions take it for the power, not the money, you wouldn't change anything.IT. IS. ABOUT. MONEY. It is about personal welfare and wants and desires, money also provides power. But not always. It would change a lot, almost everything.You are so niave about how people work...I know how people work, better than you do. Apparently.Somewhere up there I also said something about better and higher education. Also new views and values. You completely fail to include them.
