1) Dwight, in 2000 I moved from the Philly area to Appalachia. While trying to recover losing everything twice in a year, once to foreclosure (an early housing crisis victim), then, family crisis led me to be “accepted” (yet, not accepted) at a domestic violence shelter.

2.) In just a few years I went from a $14.00 an hour homeowner to homeless to $8.00 an hour FT to nothing (had my car stolen by cops in WV), to $5.15 an hour, 18 hours a week, 400 miles from home. The shelter told me I was not allowed to go to school to better myself.

If you want to kill teenage employment, where you learn about work ethic and time management, lets be sure to raise the minimum wage. The long term effect be damned.
-
Unqualified statement without any evidence. Simply not true. There is zero evidence that raising minimum wage will destroy teenage employment.

Have you ever read Dr. Walter E. Williams?
-
He is entitled to his “opinion”. He has no evidence. He has no model. He has no original study. He has no published research results.
-
And ... he hasn’t had a peer reviewed article since 1993 which was 25 years ago. He’s basically teaching one freshman course a semester now until he retires. Hardly a credible source. Next?

For many working minimum wage the only way to survive is to supplement by stealing , selling drugs and other illegal activities
-
or they could just get a second job to supplement their income needs instead of selling drugs, stealing, and/or turning to illegal activities?!
saying “ONLY” way is not factual. then said ppl cry b/c they face legal reprecussions they cant afford -
That's why the prisons are full , never ending cycle . Glad I'm retired finished with my 30 years in government
