The a Irony of Minimum Wage Laws

The vast majority of people who support minimum wage do so by saying that they support poor people. They however forget that their policies are more harmful than they are good. Yes, we could be like Europe and have a high minimum wage but that will cause massive unemployment.

Minimum wage advocates always forget the economic principles associated with their policies. The vast majority of minimum wage jobs are in the fast food industry; this is where teenagers gain valuable work experience. 

Austrilia had extremly high unemployment in 2011 at $15. There's a reason why their youth(15-19) went from 16% unemployment to 17% unemployment. You should check out Austrilias unemployment issue here. 

Switzerland is one of the few countries that doesn't have unemployment and they seem to be doing just fine. With a 3% unemployment all around and a 2.8% unemployment in 2011, they are doing well for themselves. 

Why is it that most Americans have television, air conditioning, heating, cell phones, and internet? How can we consider someone with television, air condition, heating, cell phones, and the internet poor? Beurocrats decide the poverty line and argue for a welfare state but incidently.. Their own job. 

Are you helping out workers by giving them a minimum wage if they can't even get hired? It would be finically irresponsible to hire teenagers while minimum wage rises. Are you guys actually helping the poor or are you harming the poor by not allowing them to get hired? There's a reason why Europe has a teenage unemployment of 20% during any sort of economic time.
