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).  [http://www.rightwingnews.com/uncategorized/interviewing-jonah-goldberg-about-his-new-book-iliberal-fascismi/ "Interviewing Jonah Goldberg about his new book, ''Liberal Fascism''"].  RightWingNews.  Retrieved on September 24, 2014.

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.  [[User:VargasMilan|VargasMilan]] 16:16, 24 September 2014 (EDT)
