DanElliot is absolutely correct. But this is a bad idea for a more fundamental reason. Before introducing any bill, a legislator should answer the following question: "Is this a proper role for government?" Dictating to employers how much they can and can not pay employees is NOT a role for government. If you wish to increase the unemployment rate for younger, frequently unskilled workers, then by all means raise the minimum wage. It will result in more people dependent upon government. And, given that Ms. Calkin also endorses single payer health insurance, perhaps that's the goal... What are the odds that Ms. has ever run a business?
