what i made in minimum wage in the late 70's 'could buy more', than what a high school kid earns now in minimum wage...
why shouldn't a kid working today be able to buy, all that i could buy back then when i made minimum wage, for the same job done or even a more productive job done?

I paid all my College tuition on $2.10 an hour over the summer. Lets see a kid do that on minimum wage now
