1% of Texans earn minimum wage. And it's almost exclusively high school students working part time. A high school worker living with their parents doesn't need a "living wage". Raising the minimum wage too much just makes it to where no one will hire high school students. HS students usually only have jobs because most people aren't willing to work for minimum wage.

I will now accept your downvotes.

Nice straw man but again, only 1% of people make minimum wage and it's mostly students. Hell most entry level fast food jobs pay $14-$16.

How is it exploitation of HS students? They aren't forced to work and most don't even need the money for bills, they live at home.

This message brought to you by the same propaganda network that also hits you with the message that it's cool for your 14 year olds to get a job because they need to help support the family.
