true, $15 dollars an hour or minimum wage is useless and won't help anything. only the abolishment of capitalism will achieve finally the progress of humanity.
$15 minimum wage could be a detriment!

Capitalism is the only thing that has made humanity any progress. And you freeloaders want to destroy that.
except capitalism has been the dominant system for hundreds of years and has accomplished nothing but make the rich richer and the poor poorer and sustained walter's inbred genetics.
Why is a poor bog hopper like me able to live a comfortable lifestyle far beyond the dreams of any of my forefathers ?
Yeah, if you want to live like the masses and get sucked in by all the advertising in print and on the idiot box. How many recycled goods does the average family use? zero!! If you are smart you can get slightly damaged goods and appliances at about 1/3 of the cost new. In the larger centres you can get day old bread at 1/2 price. The list of opportunities just goes on and on, but people feel they have to listen to and comply with bull sh*t.
There seems to be little evidence that increasing the minimum wage hurts the economy. Nations like Australia have had a relatively high minimum wage for years and yet Australia has experienced positive increases in its GNP for the last 25 years. Currently the minimum wage in Australia is $17.25 a year. Increasing the minimum wage is all about putting more money in the hands of low wage earners and it is very likely that those low wage earners will put that extra cash straight back into the economy.

The real problem is nothing other then the price of a house. They have it racked up way to high. Other then that everything is doing ok.
Prices are as high as what someone can afford if he already has a whole house already payed.
Young adults don't start life with a 300 000$ down payment, from a house they already payed. So they buy a cheap house in a place no one would want to raise their children in and pay that for 15 years before having kids at 40 years old. When they can finally afford a house that's appropriate to raise children in.
Until that fact changes our economy is dead in the water.

When they say workers will be laid off if wages rise, that's pure fear mongering from corporations. They're useless without their exploited labour, what are they going to do? Not hire people? lol. Good luck keeping your multi-billion dollar business afloat with no labour.
These diseased wealthy parasites are masturbating to technology that will wipe out jobs for millions of people so they no longer have to deal with pesky things like actually paying employees more than poverty wages.
