There is a large segment of the population that is simply not worth $15.00/hr with their existing experience and job skills.
What happens to these people when it becomes cost prohibitive to hire and invest in training them?
When people choose to drop out of high school and/or skip college they are apt to have a different outcome in life than someone who got a diploma and pushed on with purposeful education and employment. Moreover, if they have children out of wedlock, life is apt to take one course. If they have them within a marriage life is apt to take another course. Most often in life our destination is determined by the decisions we make and the courses we take. Those of us who make the right decisions should not have to subsidize those who make the wrong decisions. And that is what this liberal lunacy seeks to do.
