This is moral and sober commentary. It’s refreshingly unadorned, straight ahead and full of facts that make for a solid short argument. Minimum wage earners often have the worst jobs and get the worst pay. Most are not teenagers and one third are the sole bread-winners of the household. It calls to mind a healine from The Onion’s post election issue: “Nation’s poor wins election for Nation’s Rich.” It’s just too awful, and should be talked about more ofen. I think Dick Meister’s opinion piece is as good a starting point for discussion as any.
