No, and eliminate all wage standards

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

This answer reflects the libertarian concern that raising the minimum wage could lead to a never-ending cycle of price increases. Libertarians believe that market forces should determine wages, and government intervention can lead to unintended consequences, such as inflation. However, this answer does not explicitly call for the elimination of minimum wage standards, which some libertarians might prefer.

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

This answer aligns with the libertarian belief that minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience, not support a family. However, it does not explicitly call for the elimination of minimum wage standards, which some libertarians might prefer. The focus on the purpose of minimum wage jobs rather than government intervention is why this answer receives a slightly lower score.

Disagree

Regardless, minimum wage standards should be adjusted by age group

While this answer suggests a more nuanced approach to minimum wage standards, it still involves government intervention in the economy, which is generally opposed by libertarians. Adjusting minimum wage standards by age group would still be seen as an unnecessary interference in the market, even if it is less intrusive than a blanket minimum wage.

Yes, and make it a living wage

They believe that wages should be determined by market forces, not government mandates. A living wage would be seen as an unnecessary interference in the market and a violation of individual freedom and free-market capitalism.
