Now, the $15 an hour folks want the most menial jobs, the jobs with
the least skill level, the jobs that provided by employers that
suffer all those that come and go as first time employees to be paid
a "livable" wage. Regardless of their work history (if any), skill
level, employment history or lack thereof, an employer will be
required to pay almost double what they are paying now for minimum
wage employees.

If a job has to be done, then it deserves a living wage to get it
done.

Absolutely correct but not a freaking living that competes with the
Jones's. Not every one can be paid the same, they simply not skilled
enough to do so. Those people either move to an area of the count4ry
that is not so freaking expensive to live or take two jobs.


Not all entry level jobs are done by pimple faced kids looking for
some
pocket money.

Exactly, and that is a shame that these adults did not make the most of
opportunities presented to them other than government hand outs.


Many of these people earning a minimum wage are trying to support
a family unit which isn't going to happen at $10/hr much less the
$7.50/hr
federal minimum wage.

They also cant afford $500,000.00 homes and yet that is where many live.


If the $15/hour minimum wage gets enacted it will raise the standard
of living of the whole economy except for the top 1% which will be
asked to pay for it.

It will fail. Why do you think all minimum wages have to be raised?
Government is the first place to look. Government raising minimum wage
is simply to shift focus away from the **** poor job it is doing.
Raising minimum wage, in a nut shell, for a very short time shifts the
balance in favor of the little guy. Then several months later more
money is printed to pay off debt for a scheme, that it has sold it's
citizens, THAT IS MISERABLY FAILING.

The top 1% pays for it? ROTFLMAO LOL. WE ALL PAY FOR IT. An
immediate price increase of everything will happen. It always has and
it always will.


It's just Reagan's "Trickle Down Economics" in reverse.

Yes the least deserving get the biggest pay increases.

Reagan's "Trickle Down Economics" have proven to be a disaster unless
you are in the top 1%.

Wasn't for me, and any one else I personally know.


A $15/hr minimum wage will help the economy recover from the TDE
of the last 30 years.

That is partly why the economy is where it is today.

Until people are actually paid for what they contribute to the
betterment of society thigs will always get worse because the government
is always going to have a "fix it" plan for something that does not exist.
Raising minimum wage is only teaching people to rely on the government.
