A minimum wage may seem like bullshit to some, but to the average working person it represents a rung on a wage scale in a labor force they will be a part of all their lives.
It has meaning, and all labor is worthy of respect.
The average working person does not make min wage.
"All of their lives" ? Min wage jobs are a "starting point" not an "ending point"
All labor is indeed worthy of respect...especially considering there are over 20 states that pay more if you are on welfare/bennies vs. min wage. However, people that lift themselves up from the bottom, deserve more respect....and more money.
Keep on demanding an artificial min wage and watch those jobs disappear. It's already happening.
