If I am willing to work for $X, and someone is willing to pay me $X, do you really think that you're so much smarter than me that I need you to step in and say "no, that's not enough. You cannot make that contract"?
Please explain the logic behind your arrogance.
They think you are too stupid to negotiate on your own behalf because obviously you are....you are asking for advice on a running forum.Get it?

It's called sociopathy. It is rampant among 'liberals'.

I am not asking for advice. I am asking for an explanation.
Get it?
Trump would never hire anyone like you. He sets the price and the terms. You accept or you don't get the job.
Are you working for minimum wage with no benefits?
Get back to work for your measly $X and STFU

Isn't that how it's supposed to go?

I am working for less than the proposed $15/hr minimum wage. Why do you want to make my employment situation illegal if I myself am fine with it?
working guy, I'm way out there on this issue -- I think essentially all contracts should be permitted. But let me ask you, what contracts, if any, do you think should be banned? (Among adults, anyway).
To make this concrete, what about a contract between a sex worker and an enforcer with a binding arbitrarion clause?
Because you're evidently too stupid to see the bigger picture and understand that what you're willing to work for could have a negative effect on what others have to work for. Nothing occurs in isolation.
I actually agree with the OP (most of the time). I think that the very notion of a minimum wage is a bad idea.
However, it should be pointed out that "stupidity" (as in, "thinking that you are too stupid to negotiate") is probably not the key assumption for folks who back a minimum wage.
Personally, I think $15 is too high. We've had some kind of minimum wage for more than 50 years back when there weren't any so called liberals.
What about that case back in 2002 or so, of the suicidal guy who made a deal with a cannibal concerning his mortal remains?

This ^ is a good question. Since you (ScottEvil) are the one who posted it I am going to assume that you possess a certain level of intelligence and are hence worth "listening" to.
From your perspective what contracts, if any, should be banned?
That's why it's called a "market"... dumbsh!t.

Not in the OP's basement dwelling world.
Not only do "liberals" not think what the OP says, they don't care about it. Neither does anyone else.

Do you have a family with kids?
How much public assistance do you receive?
Kids on free or reduced lunch?
That's obvious.
