		<description><![CDATA[Who should dictate how much a low-skilled worker is paid in a nation that is a representative republic?  The worker?  The employer?  The government?  The low-skilled jobs are jobs virtually anyone can do barring physical or mental limitations, meaning there is nearly an endless supply of those workers because they don&#039;t require any special skill to do that job.  That job has a specific monetary value to the employer.  Where is the justice in anyone other than the employer dictating to the employer how much that job is worth to the business?

Please explain.]]></description>
