I think I would turn to a life of crime before I worked for minimum wage.
Last time I had a real job minimum wage was $3.35 an hour and I think I was making around $4.10 an hour working in the parts dept at a dealership. What a fucking joke, work all day long and at the end of the week after taxes you were lucky to have a hundred dollar paycheck. Thank god I quickly learned this was nothing more than legalized slavery and created my own job.
In late 1996 Clinton raised the minimum wage from $4.25 to $5.15 an hour. Republicans fought it tooth and nail claiming it would fuck up the economy, history tells a different story and we experienced the best economy ever.
