I'm curious, who ACTUALLY makes minimum wage? Do these jobs really exist? I see help wanted signs on placards outside restaurants, gas stations, etc. all the time. While fueling up my car, I saw a gas station attendant position starting at $9.75/hour Sunday. McDonalds in my area constantly advertises starting pay of $9.75 to $10.50/hour. I suspect, much like every other social 'injustice' being utilized to divide us, it's more distraction than real issue.
It's true, what'd Gary Johnson say, all it takes to make more than minimum wage is to show up to work on time and wearing a clean shirt.
