Government assistance on the other hand, helps to "level the playing field" without the same problems as the minimum wage. I mean ffs, legally speaking you need to pay a babysitter minimum wage. Do you really think i'm going to pay an 11 year old $15 an hour to watch tv with my kids?

I don't believe you have to pay an 11 year old babysitter min mage considering she isn't going to be reporting the income to the IRS and she is kind of "child labor".  I believe you can state whatever price you want and that they agree with.  It is like having a kid mow your lawn for 10 dollars (youngsters would probably want at least 20 these days) even though it might take him over a hour and half to do it.
