Well there was that literacy thing a few months ago...Remember A is for Alabama?

>>>BTW, take a look at the first column - workers directly affected by increase - all the way down at the bottom of the Demographics section - teens 16-19 = 29.2%. ;^)<<<

Yeah, right...so what. There's also a number on the very same table in the very same column (Affected directly by increase.) which reads "Work hours Full time (35+)" 48%. I doubt that but a few of those teen 16-19 year olds are in that category.

I think this whole argument that since some single people benefit therefore an increase in minimum wage is not necessary or that they are not deserving is pure B.S. Adult single can't support themselves on the minimum as it is. And while some slick statisticians would define them away as children the fact remains are not.
