I see the socialists are upset at Mike Rowe for daring the question the minimum wage. Show me a plumber who works for minimum wage. Not even an apprentice plumber works for minimum wage. Why? They are skilled jobs. McDonalds? It& #39;s starter job, not skilled labor.
It& #39;s called THE MARKET people. When I started washing dishes at 14 I made below min wage. Why? I was 14! I was earning the market wage for that job. When I wiped a woman& #39;s behind (during college), or washed dirty towels (YMCA) or worked as a life guard, I made low cont.
wages because I was working relatively low-skill jobs. Those low-wage jobs gave me an incentive to work my way through college, to make myself more attractive to employers. That& #39;s how a market economy works.
Who told these people that they& #39;re entitled to do whatever they will and get paid well for it? That& #39;s insane. People, get paid to do what others are willing to pay you to do. That& #39;s it. You& #39;re trading time/skill/labor for $.
