Fuck! I know you're not a dumb person. So that means you are intentionally overlooking that fact. They have NO skills. This is usually their first AND temporary job.
IF they work at McDonalds for a period of time AND they DO A GOOD JOB...they have opportunity to make MORE than minimum wage because they become valuable to the company.
Goddamn! This is making my brain hurt.

Has anyone been to a walmart or a mcdonalds lately? Everyone working there isn't 16 years old...
The minimum wage when taking into account inflation has actually declined since the 1970s. I'd post more graphs illustrating this but I've already posted enough (5-6 I believe).
Why not just do away with child labor laws. Or the minimum wage completely. Or just bring back slavery, at least then you get free room and board.
The government is here to regulate and private enterprise is here to optimize profits. Unfortunately due to rulings like citizens united, private companies just dictate whatever the fuck they want which isn't in your average person's best interest. Meanwhile republicans keep passing voter ID laws disenfranchising groups of poorer voters... government just is getting hilarious but private corporations aren't the answer.
