Instead people make $8 an hour and use the government to make up the rest...

Really? I've never known a teenage kid working at McDonalds as their first job "using the govt. to make up the rest"
I'm not even sure what "the rest" is. You work, you get paid. End of story.
If they jack up the food industry wages...then two things will happen:
Eating at McDonalds will cost a lot more
And even MORE teens and young adults will be out of work.
I'm just shocked that you or anybody else don't understand that young people with NO experience or training need entry level jobs. You're suggesting taking all those jobs away.
