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.

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

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.

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.

Nowhere in this post it is shown how someone on even a $10/hr minimum
wage has the means to set aside funds for even a modest savings
account.

Irrelevant, yet people do. OTOH, there are many making 10x that who
can't seem to set aside funds for even a modest savings account. Go
figure.

Thus, trying to save part of an insufficient income is totally moot to
this
discussion.

Utter nonsense.
