Well, the absolute minimum wage is $0 per hour. If someone agrees to it, why not? IMO the MW laws should be abolished and everyone should be free to negotiate the wage they believe they're worth. If a business owner agrees, then everybody's happy, right? I negotiated my wage with my employer and we came to a meeting of the minds.
It doesn't help the economy if people don't have money to spend.
Exactly-70% of our GDP consists of consumer spending. Poor/working class people generally spend ALL they have and are actually much more beneficial to the economy than people realize.
If no one, and I do mean no one, accepted any job at less that $15 per hour, and all workers currently at that wage immediately and without exception walked off the job and refused to return, then employers would be forced to pay a higher wage or go out of business. Or don't they have the balls to do that, demanding that the government force it through laws? Or alternatively, negotiate a higher wage by showing employers that they are worth more in terms of what they offer to a business in terms of skills? Would that be yet another fail?

That's why employers need to keep to illegals illegal.

ahh grasshopper you dont understand, it is really a brilliant idea.
by having a zero minimum wages its forces the employer into a true capitalism system. first you are right, nobody going to work for zero pay. but it forces the government out of the loop by telling the employer the minimum he has to pay to stay in business.
its forces the employee to look elsewhere for higher wages. so McDonald paying $5 but burger king paying $6, so in order for mcdonald to stay open he raises it rate, to keep employee from walking to burger king
as of now, the government tell us minimum and everybody agrees to it, there are using it as a excuse " I dont set wages, the government does"
you got to have something to force the employee to look to green grass elsewhere
