Sure why not, boycott many of the same companies that through profit are investing in more and more research, which by the way creates JOBS. So sure, attack the so-called mixed-economy that you so erroneously call capitalism.

You seem to forget that each and everytime that the minimum wage has been increased, so have PRICES. You complain about $3 a gallon for gas, but under your logic gas would increase to $4 a gallon. So lets raise the minimium wage, and see unemployment increase, and watch as there are less and less jobs available for young unskilled persons.
