I don't see where the disagreement is (re minimum wage).

A lot of students at BYU make sure they don't work for over a certain # of hours so they can still receive their pell grant.

Most of us are doing the same thing, just on a smaller scale. We're just more educated than most poor people are to see that.

Blame the freakin system, not the people. Let's change the incentive structure so more people would rather work than receive welfare. Raise the minimum wage.
