Yeah. Agree on both counts. Plus, does every job need to provide a


"living wage"? I learned the value of hard work as a kid by busing tables, bagging groceries and mowing lawns (although for mowing lawns my hourly rate was actually pretty good), but there's no reason that a 14 or 15 year old kid needs a "living wage" and if you mandate higher wages for all jobs, the types of jobs I had as a kid go away. Aren't some jobs, just by their nature, intended to be part-time, extra cash type jobs? Why can't those exist without trying to force them to pay a living wage?
