| | + | ==Ridiculous refutation by AmesG== |
| | + | This user, who was eventually blocked for churning up trouble, makes no exception here and perpetrates a ridiculous refutation of some elucidation of the history of liberal eugenics for which we all ought to be grateful, instead of allowing it to be interposed throughout with his foolish remarks. |
| | + | |
| | + | He claims "grave legal errors" in the history, but only tries to refute one point, both explanations of which show such ignorance (topped by emotional condescension towards those who don't embrace his error) that it is not necessary to read any further. |
| | + | |
| | + | He says "Lochner dealt with the regulation of the minimum wage, while Buck legalized sterilization". By Lochner, he means the string of Supreme Court cases during the "Lochner Era", Adkins v. Children's Hospital of the District of Columbia denying the government's ability to set a minimum wage. |
| | + | |
| | + | He then says, "Second, comparing Holmes' pro-eugenics comment to his writings in Lochner are wrong because Holmes dissented in Lochner, urging that the state has a duty to help those less fortunate - quite the opposite of eugenics!" |
| | + | |
| | + | No, the comparison is not wrong, nor is supporting a minimum wage "the opposite of eugenics", nor even "helping the less fortunate". |
| | + | |
| | + | Jonah Goldberg in an interview discussing his #1 best-seller, ''Liberal Fascism", recounts the true history of the thinking on the minimum wage by left-wing progressives: |
| | + | |
| | + | :"The welfare state was in many senses a eugenic project. As one famous progressive put it, his argument for the minimum wage was, the Cooley — meaning the Chinese worker — cannot outwork the white man, but he can under-live him. The logic of that was that since these inferior races needed so little to live on, if you created a minimum wage to lock them out, they would sort of die out of their own accord, because no employer in his right mind would hire anybody but a white man if he had to pay a white man’s wage. That logic suffused the founding of the liberal welfare state." Hawkins, John (January 18, 2008).

| | + | AmesG. is an incompetent in the legal scholarship he pretends to (and from which position he sees fit to insult others), and thus I intend to restore the material and undo the damage of his interpolations by removing them altogether without further examination.
