That's really something that needs to be emphasized. A lot of people seems to feel: "I'm going to coast through life -- you should pay all my bills for me."

Who in the world thinks that's workable?

If we got rid of the minimum wage, people could work an 8 hr day and earn, what? $8? $16 $24? Plenty of money for food then.

Yup, the only problem I see is the cardboard collectors stealing the persons home each day when they go to work.

I think we should do away with the government printing presses the day before abolishing the minimum wage. The two seem to drive each other, among other things.
