My guess is you have never hired a hourly worker in your life or ran a business that needed them. I can tell you from experience I would much rather pay more for someone whom does the job right, shows up for work everyday, than deal with the head ache of no shows, shitty attitude and half ass work that comes from paying low wages.

Of course you have never had to deal with these problems which is pretty obvious, other wise you would understand that time = money and saving a few dollars on lower wages usually means more lost money due to under production.

Besides that $9/hr is mouth breather wages, no one that is worth a shit is going to work for that anyway. The Free Market has already spoken, because any decent worker in the US can almost certainly find a job well above min wage. Meaning your argument is mute at best..
