Where in the Constitution does it give Congress the right, specifically or implied, to dictate the wages of an employee of a private business? I've looked and I can't find the section that covers that.
Shouldn't states have the right to set the the minimum wage for their state instead of Congress. I don't know how Congress can possibly pass a wage law that is fair to the entire country because the cost of living is not the same everywhere in the country.
If the point of minimum wage wage laws are to guarantee a livable wage this would be a much more fair and effective way to do it. States that have a higher cost of living would raise their minimums based on their cost of living and states with a lower cost of living would not need to raise minimum wages beyond what is necessary, based on the cost of living in their state.
