    I’ve heard the phrase, yes. I don’t base my philosophy on whether clever-sounding phrases exist.

    There’s no evidence to suggest that lack of a minimum wage results in everyone earning essentially zero wages, which is all I can imagine that phrase to mean.

    There is, however, evidence that minimum wages lead to unemployment. There’s also evidence to suggest unemployment is a horrible state to exist in.
