My tax dollars are subsidizing large corporations.
No, they are subsidizing lazy losers who think McDonald's is a career.

So then the key is don't hire anybody to work for a company. Hire everybody as independent contractors.
Then the little shits will get the 8.75/hr that they deserve...
In other words, you are saying they should not be allowed to work if nobody is willing to pay $15/hr or more. That's exactly what the minimum wage law says. You ignoramus.
Actually I'm saying any company that wants to hire a worker must pay $15/hour to that worker. That's not the same thing

All those high-tech jobs of the future exporting to the 1 Billion!!!11!! customers in China are going unfilled. Lazy STEM people don't want jobs, prefer to get 20 hours at Starbucks.

OH, so now $15/hr is a good career wage ? Maybe when you were 16 it was. But newsflash, using a CPI based inflation calculator (which is conservative), $15 now is like
$2.63 in 1972. And the $15/hr min wage doesn't kick in most places that are doing it until 2017, so make that $2.50.

Minimum wage jobs were never intended to be career jobs.
why are you conflating the two?

Dunkin Donuts CEO Nigel Travis – who previously held senior positions at Papa John's and Burger King, other low-wage employers – appeared on CNN and decried the $15 minimum wage as “absolutely outrageous.†He went on to claim that the move will prevent his company from hiring more people and would “affect small business and franchises.†"In fact, to encourage the expansion of our brand, and to increase hiring, we should drop the minimum wage to $1.00 per hour, and consider paying employees with our quality product."
