If you wouldn't and don't think that anyone else would either, why do we need a minimum wage??? If the pay sucks, people leave jobs. Employers need to compete with each other to hire the help that they want.
It seems to me like minimum wage hurts people more than helps them. Some businesses would hire a 16 year old for $4.00 per hour (and the teen would willingly work there), but they may not be able to afford minimum wage. Therefore, no work for the teen.
Why do we even have minimum wage? Why is it the governments business what I decide to work for? If I think my time is only worth $1 per hour why should the government say it's worth more?
Arn't there some people that aren't worth paying minimum wage?
