That's no reason to pay people slave wages. If his disability checks decrease because he's earning enough from a job to live on isn't that a good thing? He wants to work. He wants to earn a living so he can afford clothes, a haircut, to go to the movies with friends... He can't do any of that on a disability check and wage of $2.47 an hour... There's no reason to pay the people who need it most less than minimum wage. They are not 'less than' because someone labels them as having a disability. Don't pay 'less than'.
Because minimum wage is a joke and ruins economies. It limits companies ability to pay people who perform lower than "normal." Pride Industries enables people who wouldn't normally be able get a job to contribute to society. It is a wonderful thing.
If your son gets another source of income for his disability he is only allowed to make so much a check without losing his other source of assistance/income.
