Opponents of raising the federal minimum wage cite all kinds of statistics supporting their view, as do proponents.
Guys like George Will and Rich Lowry claim the minimum wage only affects a small number of Americans, but claim that raising it will cause all kinds of economic damage to business, including causing some of them to lay off workers or go out of business altogether.
We'll let others argue those points.
But Lowry says, "The effect of the hike basically will be to give a small boost to the wage of teenagers working summers or after school."
What's wrong with that?
With the cost of college tuitions increasing dramatically every year, and the cutback of grants and loans available for students, many teens are working to help pay their way through college.
They need all the help they can get and deserve a chance to make enough money to better themselves.
The problem with guys like Will and Lowry is that they have either forgotten what it's like to struggle to get ahead, or never had to in the first place. Now they want to deny that opportunity to others.

Spring Break Plans May Include DUI Lawyer
Several of my son's friends were over the other night talking about going to California (specifically San Diego) for Spring Break, and boys being boys, they got to talking about getting rowdy.
Now they know not to drink and drive, but being young and thinking they are invincible, these boys (young men really) do not always make the right decisions.
That's when I told them it might be wise to know about a San Diego DUI Lawyer before they make the trip. So they got on the Web and found Rick Mueller, who from the looks of his Web site is a fairly competent lawyer when it comes to DUI.
He's got a victory page devoted to cases where he has saved his client's driving privileges. Let's face it, you have to be able to drive in this country, so being able to keep your driver's license is essential.
Another positive point is the page on defenses to California's DUI breath test. Pre-knowledge of one's rights is always a good thing.
Now, I don't expect these guys to get into trouble while in Sunny Southern California, but I'll sleep better knowing that if the worse happens, they'll know who to call.
