You are right. These people have a rotten attitude and a lack of commitment. But think about it, minimum wage and no benefits doesn't give a person much to look forward too. It is supply and demand. If we eliminated an unlimited supply of workers who will work for poverty wages it will force up the wages for most Americans. Better pay means that workers have something to look forward to and is worth keeping. Let the market set the wages. Illegal immigration screws up the market place by keeping wages too low and it affects you and I.

I do see your points, I am 35 years old and can remember making minimum wage with no benefits as well in my teens. But I think the way society has gone, we've allowed younger people to get to this point. Alot of foreign immigrants will end up gladly filling these jobs, though.
The answer is tremendously more complicated than we can fix on this thread.

Nonsense. Business works solely upon value. If a person is hard-working he might be paid more than the native-born lazy worker who thinks society owes him a living just for showing up.
