Switzerland 'rejects world's highest minimum wage'

11. That's not an argument at all.

Surprise surprise - unaccountable unproportional (winner take all) lawmaking systems usually don't end up on the progressive side of the issue.

Really, every time Congress fails to pass a rise in the minimum wage or extension of unemployment benefits, or passes a military budget, this should prompt smarmy mini-editorials about what a bad idea this system is.

Leaving all decisions to the money and a small core of professional policymaker devoted to the capitalist consensus should not have its place.

In fact, the only way major progressive changes come about in such systems is after many years of persistent fighting by social movements.
