it's a hypothetical question, numbers are irrelevant... it's not a question of "checking the facts" or practicality of it all... it's a question of ethics...
so given the goal of minimum wage is to help poor families achieve enough income to "live on"...
teenagers should be exempt, since they don't use income for living expenses... you agreed with me on that...
so using similar logic, I would think families making over $100k/year should be exempt too, since there is no reason at all why we should subsidize $15/hr wage for them? do you agree? or do you think there is some reason why we should indeed subsidize high wages for them?
