Fiscal Conservatism

Strongly agree

No

Fiscal conservatives tend to oppose raising the federal minimum wage, as they believe that market forces should determine wages and that government intervention can lead to negative consequences such as job losses and increased inflation. For example, many fiscal conservatives opposed the 2007-2009 federal minimum wage increases, arguing that they would harm small businesses and reduce job opportunities for low-skilled workers.

No, this will only cause prices to increase in a never ending cycle

Fiscal conservatives often argue that raising the minimum wage will lead to a cycle of price increases, as businesses pass on the higher labor costs to consumers. This can result in inflation and reduced purchasing power for consumers, negating the intended benefits of a higher minimum wage. This argument is consistent with the fiscal conservative focus on maintaining low inflation and limiting government intervention in the economy.

No, most minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience, not support a family

Fiscal conservatives often argue that minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience and skills, rather than support a family. They believe that raising the minimum wage could discourage employers from hiring entry-level workers and limit opportunities for skill development. This view is consistent with the fiscal conservative emphasis on personal responsibility and limited government intervention in the economy.

Agree

No, and eliminate all wage standards

While some fiscal conservatives may support the complete elimination of wage standards, this is not a universally held view within the ideology. Those who do support this position argue that it would allow for greater flexibility in the labor market and encourage job growth. However, others may see some value in having a minimum wage to prevent worker exploitation.

Neutral

Regardless, minimum wage standards should be adjusted by age group

Adjusting minimum wage standards by age group is not a core tenet of fiscal conservatism, and opinions on this issue may vary within the ideology. Some fiscal conservatives may support this idea as a way to balance the needs of younger, less experienced workers with the goal of limiting government intervention in the labor market. Others may see it as an unnecessary complication and prefer a more uniform approach to wage standards.

Disagree

Yes, and adjust it every year according to inflation

Fiscal conservatives generally oppose raising the federal minimum wage and adjusting it for inflation, as they believe that market forces should determine wages. Automatically adjusting the minimum wage for inflation would increase government intervention in the labor market and could lead to unintended consequences such as job losses and increased inflation.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Fiscal conservatives generally believe in limited government intervention in the economy and prefer market forces to determine wages. Raising the federal minimum wage goes against this principle, as it increases government control over the labor market. Historical examples include opposition to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, which established the first federal minimum wage.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and make it a living wage

Fiscal conservatives strongly disagree with the idea of making the minimum wage a living wage, as they believe that market forces should determine wages and that government intervention can lead to negative consequences such as job losses and increased inflation. The concept of a living wage goes against the fiscal conservative principles of limited government intervention and personal responsibility for one's own economic well-being.
