If you ever wanted to know why the GOP will always be a struggling boutique party looking out only for the interests of cheap labor just read these threads trashing the minimum wage.

One can support minimum wages but realize it doesn’t always work for all industries. Waiters always earned far, far more in tips than from minimum wage. To the extent you put restaurants out of business you are denying more people those jobs. Plus as the cost of meals go up to pay for the minimum wage, less people go to restaurants, again destroying more jobs.

Same goes for many small businesses just starting up. They can’t afford minimum wages. You cut off job creation. Also, minimum wages of knocked out a lot of jobs that teenagers used to take. Low paying jobs for teens is a great learning experience. In the old days I worked delivering newspapers and love it and greatly enriched my life.
