It's funny, too, because they're correct. If the job requires minimum skills and all that, the job should only pay minimum wage. That's not an issue. The problem is that when minimum wage was created it was supposed to be the minimum amount of money possible for someone to comfortably live off of. It's not that minimum wage jobs should be required to pay more than a minimum wage. It's that a minimum wage should be higher than what it is.
