The reason minimum wage was started was racist. The result of the minimum wage hurts people of color. Some jobs aren’t worth $15.00 or $10.00 / hour. I say eliminate the minimum wage.

Why does a 14 year old 8th grader who works 18 hours a week pulling weeds, need to earn a living wage? And why do you get to determine what a living wage is? And of this is a federal law, how can a living wage in NY be equal to a living wage in Mississippi?

If you can ever get yourself hired, you go ask your new boss that. Sure he'll be glad to see things your way.

Well that is one of the requirements for signing up on this site. Everyone here (even children like yourself) is a lawyer.
