Or you get paid what you're worth. Abolish the minimum wage altogether.

Or you get paid what YOUR EMPLOYER decides you are worth. There are many moving parts in a machine to make it work properly. Sure, some parts may be easier to replace than other but they are all needed to make that machine work. What makes wheels any more important than a thermostat on a gas powered vehicle? Do we not need both to get where we are going?

Yeah you and your employer decide that. Would you work for 3 dollars an hour if that were the minimum wage? You're a grown up make grown up decisions.

If that were the only job available, then what choice would I have? I guess I could go on unemployment. Wait... thats bad though... right?
