re: Minimum wage boost blocked in the Senate

When I was 15 years old I worked 3 different part time jobs duiring the summer and school year to save up enough money to buy my first car... making $5.15 an hour minimum wage
If minimum wage were $10.10 or $15 I would have never landed those jobs to be able to buy a car
This would hurt teenagers looking for a part time job to save money for a car, college, or even to have pocket money.

I'm a bit torn about the issue of minimum wage. On the one hand, I can see how it messes with free market principals. But, on the other hand I can see how if a person has to work 40-70 hours a week and still not have enough to live that would be an issue as well. I'm at the point where I consider the minimum wage a necessary evil where I would like the level to be set high enough to be superior to living off of welfare. As it is right now, if I could just sit on my arse all day and make nearly the same amount as working, why work?
And yeah, I know teenagers are going to lose some jobs, but at this point most people who are working minimum wage jobs aren't teenagers but are trying to support families.
