that you have now admited that minimum wage laws actually put people out of work? If you would have listened to us evil conservatives you would have known this. You libs/dems obviously never took economics 101 or you wouldn't keep doing things to ruin this state.

Great idea, if you want high schoolers to get a job. Why would I hire a high schooler for the same money as an adult supporting a family, or wanting to. Bill, Ludington

3) RIDICULOUS by Anonymous Citizen on January 4, 2007
I can't believe this. How are teens supposed to earn enough money for college if they don't even recieve minimum wage??? Oftentimes, they are working just as hard if not HARDER than employees over the age of eighteen! This is absolutely ridiculous.
