No you wouldn't. Hell you're the guy who advocates illegally downloading because 99 cents is too much to pay for a song from Itunes. Yet you're going to work for $1 an hour. yeah peole will earn something. They'll do it buy selling drugs or stealing all the copper and aluminum you have because it pays better.

that the point eliminating the ARTIFICIAL minimum price point that PREVENTS people from CHOOSING to accept a lower wage is what we are talking about.

Companies should be paying MORE. FACT. Minimum wage laws exist because companies REFUSE to do the right thing. It's like you would think we wouldn't need laws against rape because common sense says rape is wrong and thus no one would do it. But no, we have morons that think it's ok to rape so we have to have laws stating the obvious that it is not Ok to do that. Same thing.

Only a world class moron would equate that CHOICE with being FORCED to work for nothing.
seriously, are you trying to argue that jobs that could be created at that lower price point, should be forced out of existence completely. Are you so stupid that you don't realize that impossible in the current economic environment
I hate to tell you something moron, there are other parts of the world where a $1US/ hour is a rich man wage
countries where a $1US = 20-30 rupees
the jobs aren't disappearing their going over seas to those countries, and with it all the capital, investment, profits, and TAXES.

YOU are the stupid one. People in the US should work for 50 cents an hour because that's the only way US companies will bring jobs back to America? Fact is going clean toilets for $1 for year THEN come back and tell us how it is so worth it. Until then STFU.
