Umm....and the federal minimum wage is sub-poverty-level for a family of two or more in the US, or just barely above the poverty line if you're living alone. [1] I know a lot of wait-staff who are single parents that are really stretching every dollar to get by, and that $7.25/hour is a pathetic level of pay to try to support a family on, so I can't really see how "they always make at least minimum wage!" is a valid argument.
