What difference does it make? $3 / hour won't improve their situation so what's the point? Whether they earn $0 / hour or $3 / hour, they will need welfare either way. The only difference is $3 / hour is a salary, which means their employer is getting subsidized by me the taxpayer. I'll pass on the corporate welfare.
