exactly! No one said they had to get $15 per hour.. The $15 originally was a bargaining chip for hopes of $11 or $12.
I've said it before but no one will listen.. in the 80's when I worked a min wage fast food job I was able to buy almost 4 gallons of gas with a hours wage but today the $7.25 barely buys 2 gallons. So common sense tells us that the cost of living is going up way faster than min wages.
Que the "well then go out and get a better paying job.." BS
