Every time minimum wage gets increased, businesses die. There's no reason the gov't should be forcing it on people. If people are willing to work for $1/hour, let them. If they aren't, then you gotta pay more. If there is discrimination occurring, let the gov't step in to regulate. But, otherwise, STAY OUT OF MY MONEY.

Kevlar has it. If you can't take minimum wage, work before college. It's easier to get a higher paying full-time job than a part-time one. Personally, I think 18 year olds are too young to start college anyway. Let them work for a few years and then start school. Of course, this country is not equipped to accomodate that...sadly.
