Wages below 2 digits allow companies to hire people whose work isn't worth more than that, often teenagers or other unskilled laborers. A minimum wage actually just prices these people out of a job because companies can't afford to pay them that much. The well-meaning but economically foolish libtards end up hurting more people than they help... 

 Exactly.  It prices out the young people who need their first job to prove themselves.  Those people can't ever get their first job and therefore can't ever become productive members of society.  It hurts those they claim to help the most.
