No, most minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience, not support a family

This answer aligns well with conservative liberalism's emphasis on personal responsibility and limited government intervention. Many conservative liberals argue that minimum wage jobs are meant to be stepping stones to higher-paying positions, not long-term solutions for supporting a family. This perspective is often expressed by conservative commentators like Ben Shapiro and Thomas Sowell.

No, this will only cause prices to increase in a never ending cycle

Conservative liberals often argue that raising the minimum wage will lead to a cycle of price increases, as businesses pass on the higher labor costs to consumers. This perspective is supported by conservative think tanks like the Cato Institute, which has published research on the potential negative effects of minimum wage increases.

Slightly agree

Regardless, minimum wage standards should be adjusted by age group

Adjusting minimum wage standards by age group is not a core tenet of conservative liberalism, but some conservative liberals may support this idea as a compromise between free market principles and social responsibility. This approach has been implemented in countries like the United Kingdom, where there are different minimum wage rates for workers of different ages.

Slightly disagree

Yes, and adjust it every year according to inflation

Although some conservative liberals may support adjusting the minimum wage according to inflation, this position is not universally held within the ideology. Many conservative liberals would still argue that minimum wage increases could lead to job losses and increased prices, regardless of whether they are tied to inflation.

Strongly disagree

No, and eliminate all wage standards

While conservative liberalism supports free market principles, completely eliminating wage standards would be an extreme position that most conservative liberals would not support.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and make it a living wage

Making the minimum wage a living wage is a position more commonly associated with progressive or social democratic ideologies, not conservative liberalism. Conservative liberals generally prioritize free market principles and limited government intervention, and they would likely argue that a living wage mandate would have negative economic consequences, such as job losses and increased prices.
