The alternative to the living wage.

[Heywood]

I am a fan of either option provided the government stays out of the market thereafter(e.g. no minimum wage, etc).

Underpaying employers are far from the only problem we all pay for thanks to under-regulated business practices, so this isn't an even trade.

These systems would give people options to simply quit a job if they feel they are being screwed in a labor exchange. People wouldn't have to worry about where there next meal would come from if the quit because they would always be guaranteed a minimum income.

These systems empower workers without interfering in the market. Current systems of minimum wage and such help some but hurt others.
