Since I am loathe to the government, especially a demoncratic one, to be telling Companies what they have to do and not do, I hesitate to even say anything. But, if they have to, maybe it should be in a way befitting of SOME rationalization...
Minimum wage for people under 18 = whatever it is now.
Minimum wage for single people over 18 = $10 an hour.
Minimum wage for married people = $12.50 an hour.
Minimum wage for married people with children = $15 an hour.
Comments?
How about, no. No minimum wage at all. The true minimum wage is $0.00.
Why do married people get more money?
You would create an unnecessary baby boom. And people getting married for not the right reasons.
