> I mean, the market does. Most people won't pay an 50% on food because the farmers pay a living wage.
I always get a chuckle hearing this talk from the sort of people pushing for $15/hr fast food wages.

Liberals: pay fast food workers $15 an hour!
Conservatives: that will dramatically increase food prices and lead to layoffs.
Liberals: no it won’t! Fear mongering!
Conservatives: let’s stop illegal immigration.
Liberals: who’s gonna pick vegetables then???
Conservatives: Americans
Liberals: impossible! That will lead to dramatically higher food prices!
That’s why I get a kick out of this. It’s the same arguments repeated by both sides.
Check Switzerland for a society with high food prices and high minimum wage. This is the kind of society liberals are advocating for.
