And of course you have THAT viewpoint too, just like the “what next, marrying cows?” argument for gay marriage.
Do you even know what minimum wage was meant to be?
It was meant to be enough for a family to get by.
People have to work 3 jobs now just to afford a cheap appartment.
Fun fact: A study was done, and Minimum Wage jobs are more stressful, and carry a GREATER workload than that of MUCH higher paying jobs. Politicians make more than you or I in a year, but they only work HALF of that year. Less even. And they mostly just sit around and debate.
So tell me, is a job that requires you to do tons of different tasks constantly, less deserving of money than a job that only works half the year, and is a majority of debating?
Also, it is very difficult for people to get a first job. Even if it’s below minimum wage. It took me two years before I actually managed to get a first job and that job paid only $5 an hour because I got tips and I was only shecdualed 3-4 hours a night meaning on a slow night, I was making only like $15-20 on a single night which didn’t even pay for the gas at the time.
