Minimum Wage

MINIMUM WAGE

Skilled, experienced workers make high wages because employers compete to hire them. Poorly educated, inexperienced young people can't get work because minimum wage laws make them too expensive to hire as trainees. Repeal of the minimum wage would allow many young, minority and poor people to work. It must be asked, if the minimum wage is such a good idea, why not raise it to $200 an hour? Even the most die-hard minimum wage advocate can see there's something wrong with that proposal.
The only "fair" or "correct" wage is what an employer and employee voluntarily agree upon. We should repeal minimum wage now.

Now Me being a teenager, I think minimum wage is a good idea. but the difference is I don't have a family to support. So I think that there should be an age limit for minimum wage, say 18, around there. Regardless, minimum wage should be appealed, regardless of Union or Non-Union work.
