why sarcasm? I thought the main argument for minimum wage is that the wage needs to be enough to "live on"... this doesn't apply to teenagers, since they don't use the $$ earned for living expenses, but for beer, smokes, movie tickets and a new iphone every year...
so why should everyone "subsidize" (through higher prices on goods/services) teenagers?
