I stopped writing last night and this morning, I have read all the responses, did some verification research. Now mainly because no one insulted my opinions, but rather, (TKS PATTI55) gave me other things to consider, I would like to amend my previous opinion to the following:
Minimum wage is not a living wage for a family, but maybe it was never intended to be so. If you find your self in a minimum wage job at that stage of your life, it may be time to rethink your path and change it. Self education, Work ethics and Honesty most likely will allow you to move up where you are or get a shinning recommendation from your minimum wage BOSS and help to find that better paying job. I am bullheaded and rarely change my opinion, but this thread has done just that when it comes to making minimum wage $15,00 per hour. I thank all for their calm considerate posts that made that happen.
