I disagree. The only businesses that CAN pay lower than the minimum wage by law are those that employ fewer than a certain number of people. So, Bubba - by your post, I would be led to think that anywhere I go, I can demand at least minimum wage. What's to stop me from educating myself, get training where I need it, or learning a new trade so that I can go somewhere that voluntarily pays more? Where is my choice? Why does the government have to tell my employer what I'm worth? You pay minimum wage and you end up getting what you get. I still think that if the government would stay out of it, this economy would right itself much faster. Economics isn't a team sport.
