Dumb, dumb, dumb.  Too bad we can't force IQ tests before someone buys
a computer.

Reduce the minimum wage and a LOT of teens will be able to work.

It does not take a 150 IQ like mine to deduce that....

Bra ha ha ha! A 150 IQ. I doubt that. You never read or watch news
firsthand. The nation's hourly minimum wage was raised from $6.55 to
$7.25. That is $0.70 an hour increase. So let's say a teen works 20
hours a week. That's $14.00 extra a week. About 28% goes to taxes,
plus the other deductions. Th eonly jobs left in America are service
jobs that can't be outsourced. Competition is fierce for the few part-
time service jobs that remain, even if they were $5.00 an hour.
