There is no poverty in America and minimum wage should not even exist. This is supposed to be a free market economy.

Their is no poverty? I would agree if poverty was only defined by what many in Africa have to endure but by most definitions we do in fact have poverty in this nation. While I do think that capitalism is the best system to create wealth I see no reason why we shouldn't have some rules to protect against the negative effects it does have.
