Could be they are a convicted felon trying to re-integrate into society but cannot because their labor is priced out of the market.....why take a risk hiring a convicted felon for the same price you could hire a non felon? Could be the have a disability like Down Syndrome....why hire a person with Down Syndrome when you can hire a person without Down Syndrome for the same price? Not everyone's deep rooted issue is a matter of choice and even in situation where it is....we should still give them a foot hold on the economic ladder.
Minimum wage is morally wrong because it hurts people. That's why I oppose it...not because I wan't people to get paid pennies. The reason DP is a liar is he misrepresents people's position. He and others of his ilk....minimalist and Brian37....sell hate to further their agenda.
There are programs for these people. I know this for a fact as there is a business local to me that only hires these types of people. They get minimum wage too.
