What are the arguments for and against abolishing the Federal Minimum Wage in the U.S.?

What industry are you in, if you don't mind me asking?

Not to be dismissive of your success, but as someone in the tech industry, I am extremely skeptical of people self proclaimed entrepreneurs that say "making money is easy".

Not to say that you must be one of them, but in my experience, most people that "started their own business" were already skilled laborers who simply decided to contract themselves out instead of relying on an employer to give them tasks. They almost always continued to work at their current job while they get the business is up and running, or were already in enough financial security to quit for several months.

And this is difficult! - Don't get me wrong! - but it doesn't even belong in the same conversation as people working two jobs just to make rent at the end of the month. (Yet people try to do it all the time)
