Open Question For Minimum Wage Supporters

Cafe HayekAn open and earnest question for our President and any minimum wage supporters from Don Boudreaux at Cafe Hayek:

If a government policy that artificially raises the price of Chinese-made tires reduces the quantities of such tires that are bought, why does a government policy that artificially raises the price of low-skilled labor not reduce the quantities of such labor that are hired?

Fascinating.
