Jack Kemp is about as relevant as Bob Dole... Zero. If you are an honest businessman, you have a responsibility to pay your workers a living wage. The minimum wage is not a living wage especially with the increasing economic turmoil.
The failure of business to self regulate has brought this on. When you get business to self regulate, then we won't need government to do it.
