Like it or not, there is and can be only one #minimumwage. $0/hour.

It sure doesn't sound all that great to work for $10/hour. But if that's the level of productivity someone is at, is it really a good idea to condemn them to unemployment forever? Wouldn't it be better for them to be able to work and develop their skills?

Is it really better for someone to live entirely on charity/welfare forever than to live on a combination of that and a wage that can rise over time?
