Appropriate Incentivisation

Well, here's a thing: for a quarter of the nation's wage-slaves, the national living wage will not provide a living. The Confabulation of Business Interests is already squealing that paying people nearly enough to live on will grieve entrepreneurs, increase unemployment, prevent hardworking families who want to work hard and get on from fulfilling their British values, and so forth. Nevertheless, a resolutely-monickered think-tank has provided due reassurance that the increase in the minimum wage will be more than compensated for by the Bullingdon Club's continued mugging of those on social security; particularly now that the category of undeserving poor has been so generously widened to include those who are employed.
