Apprentices do HARD WORK. What they don't do is make a lot of money. The idea is they do the grunt work, learn their trade, then they are able to live somewhere without a roomie. Right. They're being paid, but not in cash. That is the entire concept. They're getting valuable experience. So that later in life, they can become a "wealthy" 250k/year business owner and compete with the guy who gave them their start. The entire concept of taking a man's money who is trying to give someone a chance is just plain stupid. The Obama Wealth Redistribution Plan is Marxism, straight and simple. There are other countries one can move to and get all the Marxism they want. Americans don't want it. The only people who want it are those who want something for nothing. You're on one side or the other. If you want to be an employee who takes more than he gives, so be it. That's not me, and that is not any small business owner I know of.
