No, but I know their minimum wage is set lower, by law.

But you can choose to pay them more.


I have chosen to pay them more. Minimum wage is $2.13 and I pay them $4.

For people who tip it would be exactly the same. Nice try though. Also, I'm not in a hole at all. No one has shown me how the 22 times minimum wage has been raised that it is hurt the bottom 30% of the workforce other than showing some people lost their jobs. Of course they don't want to mention the over 90% of that bottom 30% that's lives were made better.

Are you seriously arguing that 10% of a given workforce losing their job (and thus 15000 in income) is worth it so the rest of the workers can receive a marginal raise in their pay (eaten up by higher prices?)

I thought you said minimum wage gets people off the dole? Making someone unemployable is a sure way to put them ON the dole.
