Have you ever worked for 2 bucks an hour?

2 dollars a day, in fact.

When everyone else started getting $2/hour, I was bumped to 5 dollars a day.
That was a big raise for me, and I was happy about it.

Once I was old enough to work ‘legally’, I managed to get a job paying $2.35/hour. Now that was money. Partly because the taxes weren't as high then, so I got to keep more of what I earned.

You were dern tooten happy about the minimum wage back then, but now? Not so much. You got yours and that's all that matters.

Taxes at the lower end were much higher in the 70's then now. Heck nobody pays federal anymore, and that is bad. The lower wage earned should feel the pain of their choices.
