And then you are going to have even MORE teen and young adult unemployment. And that is going to lead to more crime.
Where do you expect teens and young people to get their first jobs?

Well, it has a racial element when BECAUSE OF MINIMUM WAGE LAWS, young people with no skills can't be hired. If you are young and have no skills, your output is probably not worth the minimum wage and mandatory benefits and other expenses related to employing you. So, you don't get hired. Most of the guys who suffer this are *DISPROPORTIONATELY* BLACK and ethnic minorities. ABOLISHING MINIMUM WAGE LAWS would do more for racial progress in America than all of Al Sharpton's divisive BS. Indeed, it was labor unions who pushed for minimum wage laws to protect union workers from the low wage price competition of African-Americans. See below for more info:
