On Removing the Bottom Rungs of a Ladder

No person with his head screwed on properly would ever suggest such a boneheaded thing and, yet, we have these supposedly intelligent politicians suggesting that we do the exact same thing with the minimum wage. I mean, how dumb is that? Of course, the fact that we already have hundreds of thousands of young black males frozen out of the labor market NOW makes this even more idiotic (not to mention, tragic) and I really want to ask these buffoons how a person with a marginal-revenue-product of $6 an hour benefits from a $10 minimum wage WHEN THEY CAN'T EVEN GET A FUCKING JOB to begin with?
