This actually intrigues me because i'm 16 and 15.00 an hour sounds like a dream. I totally understand why people would want that kind of money for minimal work. Most minimum wage workers didn't go to college and are reliant of that money to live everyday life. Full time minimum wage employees roughly make 15,000 a year. that's barley enough to buy a new car, much less pay rent. I can understand the people who weren't able to go to college, to have an increase based on their age. In my opinion state governments should set minimum based on age, it makes sense for a 16 year old to make 8 dollars and hour but not a 30 year old who wasn't able to attend college and get a better job. People shouldn't be penalized for the ridiculous prices of college, and not be able to support themselves without a college degree. I also understand the other side of people who think that no one should be payed over 8 dollars to flip a burger an hour. The argument works both ways, but in my opinion i believe that minimum wage should be based on age, and age alone.
