Florida voters swung at a lot of pitches on Election Day. We hit a little dying-quail Texas leaguer for president, fouled off the bickering doctors and lawyers and hit the bullet train boondoggle into the center field stands. What really fooled us was the fat, hanging curve of the minimum wage. We took a big cut at what looked like a sure homer for the poor. We swung and missed. Not only did we miss, but the Louisville Slugger of unintended consequences slipped out of our hands and caught Florida’s thousands of unskilled workers square in the chops.
