The whole basis of a minimum wage is to get money into the peoples' pockets while executing the basic jobs (without skill most times) the respective companies need. Though what do you do when a person has some skill (thanks to his or her intuitions or courses they took that are similar to their job performances at that moment) or even develops some skill (after many years of experience doing that exact same job)?

This is where people enter - this is where people count.

There should not be an argument in the world that individuals are worth less than what they know, or that they are not learning while doing the same jobs for years, even if mingling around and performing other jobs. And if a skill is necessary rather than just your average counter vendor getting lot of things done, at times not with the same knowledge or with some anger over a customer, then the company should provide them with the respective training for that specific chore. People do count!

If you ever noticed someone being paid less than what they're worth and they are complaining about that, it must be because they're not satisfied with their salary only paying their taxes year by year and not allowed to do much about their personal families' needs. People doing their jobs do count!

The fairest way to go about paying people for they know and what they can produce is to abolish the minimum wage. You can argue about it being an old social style, if not communist-based mentality, and you may not be standing further from the truth. Whether left or right, pro or con, the minimum wage person A is paid is the same as person B, although they are working at the same factory doing different chores. The inequality has outgunned the skills and experiences of the people with the most unfairest shots throughout the centuries.

Whether this has to do with the limited financial amount a company has when going about paying their employees, or simply the governments (around the world for that matter) allow the employers to exploit this without end is remarkable and, at he same time questionable. Questionable because any private company would definitely set its own financial rules and rewards for its workers; remarkable because of this minimum wage exploitation back door to people's basic needs.

Abolishing minimum wage and paying people what they're worth is a more plausible account than the one the workers have at their banks.
