That's my point and is a significant consideration when discussing minimum wage. Sweden doesn't need a minimum wage because the unions help to ensure a living wage. For this reason, Sweden's lack of a minimum wage cannot be used as an argument for eliminating or not raising the U.S. minimum wage.
I never intend to use the minimum age argument to justify eliminating it in the US, sorry if I was not clear enough, I was just stating that a minimum wage may not even be necessary, that would be the ideal for every society.
