Oh Christ. Businesses don't adhere to this fantasy metric of yours. They pay min wage because it maximize their profits.Who decides what 15 is worth exactly? You do understand inflation right? Do you know what 15 per hour pays for now?What exactly is your solution to these people learning new skills if they can't afford the education for it? 18 million people make less than 10.00 per hour. How many more do you think make less than 15 and have kids?Conservatives answer this question: wages in the lower classes have remained stagnant for DECADES. What is the incentive for businesses to pay more if they can maximize their profits by keeping wages low? Corporate profits are already at an an all time high.
The ONLY way to boost wages for the poor is by raising the minimum wage. History has shown this to be true. More socialization in our private economy is the only way to save the middle class and keep the poor class from expanding. Eventually, the top heavy economy will cause a collapse from a lack of sufficient consumer spending.
Do I want to end the private market? Of course not. I just understand the need for government intervention and regulation.
MOTIVATION IN THE LOWER CLASSES HAVE REMAINED STAGNANT.
SOLUTION : ABOLISH THE WELFARE STATE
YOU DON'T WANT LOW WAGES ? LEARN A MARKETABLE SKILL AND STOP DEMANDING THAT THE FASCIST STATE REGULATE CORPORATIONS AND ABOLISH CONFISCATORY TAXATION.

You've hit on the problem, plan your life, don't have kids you can't afford, anyone can get loans to go to school. Nobody owes someone that isn't qualified $15 bucks an hour
You are only worth as much as the next person willing to do your job.
