The testimony “The Minimum Wage Hinders Texas’ Progress” by Vance Ginn, appeared in the blog for the committee members of the Texas Public Policy Foundation on February 25, 2019. The author’s immediate audience were the readers of Texas Public Policy Foundation Blog. The author believes that raising the minimum wage can harm people with low-skill level, and less jobs in the future. The argument of this article is that giving people a raise can lead people to a bigger disaster in the future. For example, he says, “As the figure below illustrates, setting a minimum wage floor above a market wage results in unemployment, especially for low-skilled workers. It also lowers future job creation and pushes unemployed workers who would take a wage at less than a minimum wage into long periods of unemployment and dependency on family or taxpayers.” I disagree with Ginn, because giving a high raise to people can help more families improve. People work hard for what they do in their jobs; they work hard to get money and they deserve to get paid for how hard they work each day. The person who gave the testimony and wrote the blog is Vance Ginn, Ph.D. Director of the Center for Economic Prosperity. His achievements indicate that he is credible on economic topics. Mr. Ginn does not only give evidence about how raising the minimum wage can harm people, he also gives examples of how instead of giving people a raise we could do something good with the money to help people more. For example, we could Remove government barriers to work, or increase skills by improving educational outcomes through competition among schools. We could also expand investments and job opportunities by passing a conservative Texas budget that increases government spending of taxpayers, money by the smallest amount possible.
