Uncle, illegal is illegal, I have always thought that. I challenge anyone on here that thinks a teenager flipping burgers should make fifteen dollars an hour to jump through all the hoops required to open and run a business in todays economy and pay a non skilled worker fifteen dollars an hour. I would be willing to bet that an owner operator of a hot dog cart in New York doesn,t average fifteen dollars an hour. I feel bad for all the families affected by the closing of Rudy Farms. That company has been a pretty good employer for people that were between jobs for a long time. There are a few long term employees there, but most take a job there hoping to move on.
For your information, I am happy with the minimum wage being right where it is. However I do feel that a skilled worker should be better compensated and there should not be such a big gap between the CEO's and the people who actually do the physical labor.
