We're not discussing the USA though. This was about minimum wages being paid here in the UK. We're in the UK and I don't think it's a common benefit here.


Yes I do keep making the comparisons because I don't think it's very encouraging or fair for law abiding citizens to keep getting the rough end of the stick. It's like rewarding truants for changing their ways and attending school - what about rewarding the ones who've never bunked off at all? What message is it giving to them? Play truant for a while, then go back to school and get rewarded? Is that really the type of message we want to be sending out?
