The minimum wage hike has driven the wages of teen employees down to $0.00.

They certainly do double the load on other employees. They hire fewer people, give fewer hours, and want the employees to produce even more to make up for it. In the real world that is.
And in the real world, cost of goods, food, goes up also. So in the long run the employees on minimum wage is no better off then before the raise.
And, yes, many many families are living on minimum wage.

That's all you pay on minimum wage; $7.50 per hour?? How can anyone afford to even go to work at that low rate?

Cheers,

Jim

Teenagers could work for half that.

You just do not know what you are talking about.

What does that laconic comment mean ? Because just because you're you, YOU know what you're talking about more than me ? You'll admit that it's a bit " light " for such an answer, no ?

Spear, your comments make it abundantly clear that you really have no idea how the economy works over here.

This is no reflection on your intelligence, but simply that you are making strong comments on a topic you know little about, or, your command of English is not up to a discussion of this topic.

No offense intended, so take this for what you feel it's worth!!

Ok, thanks for the information. I'm probably in both cases, don't know what i'm talking about, and don't know english enough for sophisticated subjects (I'm not ironic, i just put myself in question).

You know enough English, and you know it. What you are suprised about is the number of people who know you are full of it. Sort of like Obama.
Sort of like,...
"I don't know english enough for sophisticated subjects (I'm not ironic, i just put myself in know about."
But you seem to keep up enough to come into the political room and make a comment.
