The Stupidity of Minimum Wage Laws

The state of California is currently considering a bill (Assembly bill 889) that would require parents to pay babysitters minimum wage, provide breaks every two hours and pay the sitter over-time.  This kind of central planning is absurd.  The advocates will argue that it provides the sitter a better workplace environment and more income.  But what they neglect to see, like in most minimum wage situations, is that it will reduce employment when parents no longer can afford to higher a sitter due to the higher costs created by law.  With that said, the more important question here is: if the government can invade our home economy, is there any limit to governmental power and oversight??
