But it being created for teens under 18, then why do We the People 18 and over have to be apart included to this low wage.
I make and take home 10 dollars and hour when I work under the table, and I make $7.25 and hour & take home about $6 an hour. What the FU**?

The Law should prohibit the Minimum Wage Act exceeding past the Age of 18.

Well, it was also created to end child labor. In the early industrial age of America, there were 10 year olds working 60 hour weeks on assembly lines because they didn't have to pay them much. Some places took advantage of it so much that the kids actually died while working. It was becoming an epidemic, just like outsourcing today. Fortunately, we are bound by laws that prohibit that today.

Actually a large portion of economists believe it actually eliminates jobs for people under 18 because it curbs the use of unskilled labor.
