I think it's crazy that 15 YO have to get jobs to support the family because life is to expensive to afford. I also realize some families just want to teach their teens the facts of life, you have to pay for it even though you didn't ask to be here. And most poor minimum wage families make less than 30k per parents, so a family of 4 with two minimum wage workers is lucky to earn 55k a year after taxes more like 47k. We're not all rich entertainers who can lavishly raise kids.
