I recommend George Leef’s excellent “John Hood’s Daily Journal” article on the minimum wage here. Among other things, George takes on the left for its Orwellian use of the word coercive.  It seems that the left is so out gunned by the right intellectually that it has to abuse the English language to win arguments.  I notice the same phenomenon when NC counties require “voluntary mitigation payments.” If you are want to build houses for willing buyers, you pay the county a voluntary payment of $10,000 or more per house in order to receive building permits.
