However, we still need people working those jobs. We are dependent on the waitresses, nurses aids, child care workers, etc. Where would any of us be without them?

There's a reason there aren't as many jobs as there are people.
It's the fault of the unions and the government (both federal and the state level). Capitalism works, if you let it. But so few let it and continue to accept intervention such as the inherently racist minimum wage policy. The Unions setwage floors to keep people out, not include them and help them out. The Unions did this to keep out black people in apartheid South Africa.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
