If anyone is picking and choosing what the state can and cannot do, it is you. The American Constitution lays a pretty basic argument about the intentions and purpose of government. “Provide for the Common Defense”, “Secure the blessings of liberty”, etc. These are not buzzwords. These are the government’s functions. I don’t see anything that remotely suggests that government should guarantee that every man is paid a living wage for working as a cashier six hours a day three days a week (my average weekly schedule).
LOL. I am not sure how would the constitution be at all relevant if were discussing US's ability to legislate a living wage, and certainly not in a discussion of "hard lefty laborites"(implying that those people are outside of US for obvious reasons). Fortunately for the working classes of those countries they are not ruled by US laws or abide to us constitution.
