“A business should always be able to pay a decent wage to employees.”

I hear you, but a man should be able to work for what he is willing to accept. He should not be forbidden to get a job for less than $7.25 per hour or what have you. I want that freedom.

My teenage sons want that freedom! My 18 year old had a terrible time getting a min wage job, and he has a good work history and no problems! He finally had to move out of town to get, for real, a job grilling hamburgers at McD’s.

I agree with you. In fact, I don’t believe that a minimum wage is even necessary. Here in the Dallas metroplex the market minimum wage is around $8 or $9. I too have teenage kids who have part time jobs and as do their friends. None of them have started their jobs at less than what I stated above.
