And I agree with you, JP. But I also dont think a minimum wage job is one that a person should aspire to help them survive. Get an education. Be it college or trade school. Try and become a manager and not drop the fries in the grease all day.
I believe there is a bit of give me something for nothing with the whole $15 minimum wage thing.

Trickle down economics don't work. It's not a rebublican/democrat thing it's an economic thing. When given freedom businesses do not have any history of looking out for anyone but themselves.
The point people are missing on the $15 minimum wage thing is that the goal is to provide a basic living to people
and drive the stagnant middle class wages up as well. When middle class wages aren't moving the best way to get them moving upward is to raise the floor.
