1. Truth is minimum wage needs to be $20/hr to keep up with cost of living increases.

3. I think we should target $15

I think we should allow a sub-minimum of $9-$10 for students a) under 18 who b) work less than 20 hours per week and c) are not working in hazardous employments (including - but not limited to- mining, slaughterhouse work, contracting, and driving). In exchange, I think these underage workers should be exempt from paying income tax and unemployment.

2. An insult, but considering Americans are trained to accept crumbs ...

Just right.
