Gustavus you're an idiot. I never call people trying to attempt intelligent debate idiots, but unfortunately, you fit the criteria very well.

The only thing personal attacks are is an example of flawed logic. You comment is also an example of flawed logic. A perfect example of Marxist/Leninist Theory? You expect me to take you seriously after you just likened being an internet flamer to an economic theory?

Next time don't double post either.

Now to your first post.

First paragraph: What's the point here? That unions have been forming? Unions and social groups pushed through reforms and policies like minimum wage, so I don't get where you're going here.

Second paragraph: The reason companies prefer teenagers is because they're only part time and will work for low wages. An adult person requires more than minimum wage to support a basic lifestyle, which is why companies are eager to hire non experienced teenagers for so little. What were you trying to prove with this paragraph again? You've already stated that adults don't want minimum wage jobs, so if minimum wage jobs were abolished, who would be left willing to work those jobs? Illegal immigrants only. Also, you've obviously never held down a job as a teenager, or you'll know that teenagers have limits to how far they can rise, as well as how much seniority they can get.

The rest of your post is also too full of faulty economics and bad logic. If you can't even bother to read up a little on economics before arguing against a pretty significant law then I'm obviously wasting my time. In fact, most of what you've raised I've already dealt with in my response to Gloria, but you obviously haven't read it.
