The majority are NOT teenagers. Only 28% are teenagers.
47% of those earning min wage are over the age of 25.
Why not just raise the minimum waqge4 to $50 an hour and wipe out poverty? Lyndon Johnson would be proud.
An alternative might be for the government to get out of the way and let the market decide wages.
Bernard, and your point is ...[?]
Bernard, your piece refers to "our analysis" of census data. Who is "our?"

The Economic Effects of the Minimum Wage
Since Bernard seems incapable of citing his sources,
here it is.
I mistakenly thought that someone of his capacity would not try to pass off the research of others as his own, as he so frequently does.
B, that smacks of bigtime corruption. I hope the pols in Alaska pay a big price in that matter. Thanks!

Is Candidone also suffering from the hypoxic effects of having stents placed in his chest after he had a heart attack?
blueflame -- It looks like Cheney and Kuhl have a lot in common.
I guess Kuhl believes in the right to bear arms. OSD is probably an admirer.
What a disgusting crowd these people are.

Blatham, that is an important piece, which should be proclaimed in newspaper headlines. Note that the agency is headed by a former industry lobbyist.
The number of lobbyists in Washington doubled between 2000 and 2005, to 35,000. The government is bought and paid for.

Which disgusting crowd do you refer to? Those incompetent fools of the Clinton administration who created the mess? Or the fools of the Bush administration who failed to correct the mistakes of the previous administration? While both should be faulted, the Clinton administration clearly deserves the greatest recriminations.
Silk, so your view is that if Clinton did it then it is OK for Bush and the other Republicans.
Wow!

Wow!
Advocate,
I said no such thing. In fact, I specifically stated that "both should be faulted..." Are you arguing that the sleeping watchdog should be more harshly punished than the burglar? Double Wow!
