Should the government raise the federal minimum wage?

No, and eliminate all wage standards

Yes, eliminating all wage standards may let the hard worker get higher pay, and lazy worker get lower pay, but if there are no wage standards, there is a possibility that some people will compete for a job, which made the markets could "legally" make everyone's salary lower.

The number of dollars doesn't matter. The value of dollars does. The real minimum wage is $0. So, by getting rid of the minimum wage, we would have the market adjust naturally to the value in which our work is actually valued under the real minimum wage.

Companies do not have the right to dictate and measure how much the persons worth is, because already it considers “non-essential jobs” to have “nonessential pay”. Take working at McDonald’s for example, it’s not enough to keep someone afloat, but how else do they keep people in that job without them hurting? It’s not nonessential, it’s just worth individually to them, because if it wasn’t essential, it wouldn’t exist.
