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.

Absurd. Not all workers require a "living wage" (whatever that is).
It is absurd to expect that all jobs that need doing would require
someone who "needs" a "living wage".

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

So what? They should have held that entry level job when they were a
pimply faced kid.

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.

Bull****.
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's just Reagan's "Trickle Down Economics" in reverse.

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

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

Off the box.
