Minimum wage hurts businesses, which inturns hurts workers.
When wages are artifically standarized, employees have to be laidoff.
It only makes sense to allow businesses to pay their employees whatever they like. Whether you like it or not, your employer is a worker too. He might make more money and have more control, but he's got a ton of stress to put up with. Dealing with all you dumbasses is no easy task.
And if one of you is always late for work or is a complete (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)... Then yeah, you deserve crappy pay.
I don't see any employer being stupid enough not to pay well those who work hard or show extreme talent. Those employees that are not appreciated don't work there for very long. Either studying to go into something else, quitting for a better job, not acting according to their maximum potential and screw the boss over, or flipout and shoot up the place.
I am not morally opposed to any of these scenarios.
