Mr. Gardiner-If I understand your plan, taxpayers would be on the hook for a portion of the salaries paid to private sector workers in Year One. But if government insertion into private contractual agreements is not enough, in Year Two companies would be required to almost double the salary they pay to low-skill workers. And this is remotely attractive to businesses...How? The "slaves" of whom you speak are free to apply their skills at whatever firm will pay them a price to which both parties agree. As long as there is no coercion or fraud, government should have no role in the entire process.
