Noah: Opponents of Minimum Wage Think Everyone Who Needs It Are 16-Year-Olds Saving up for a Bag of Weed

‘But the truth is, half of the people who’d benefit from a minimum-wage increase are between the ages of 25 and 54’

EXCERPT:

NOAH: “Here’s the thing: Opponents of minimum wage increases can pretend that the only people working these jobs are 16-year-olds just trying to save up for a bag of weed that’s actually Oregano. But the truth is, half of the people who’d benefit from a minimum-wage increase are between the ages of 25 and 54, and over a quarter of them have children. I mean, it would be nice if only teenagers had to work these jobs, just like it would nice if teenagers were the only ones who ran away from home when life got too tough.”
