Some people just aren't worth $70K. Why do people think they can just stomp their feet and get paid as much as everyone else? It doesn't just take hard work to succeed, it takes good work to succeed. Force people to want to do better.
This is why you don't want to spoil your kids. The people who grew up in poor families or stingy families with money who didn't have a lot growing up sometimes work their asses off because they say it will never happen to their kids then they spoil their kids and those kids get an entitlement attitude. Then the next generation is just as spoiled and minimum wage has to go up again because they kick and scream like the kids on peanuts because they're not getting their fair share.
Minimum wage is an entry level wage. Use it to go to school and save for your first home. Have 3 jobs and work hard while learning a skill.
Or hey, why don't we just all split everyone's revenue here and we all get the same amount. Then no one really has to do much of anything. Everyone will get paid $10 an hour. Blech.
