I'm fine with anyone making any wage, just so long as it's not federally mandated. $15/hr to flip burgers because the government raises minimum wage is a reality we almost had, but lucked out 10 days ago when people spoke up.
Also, several CEO's and exec's have already commented that for $30k, they can buy a machine that will replace that burger flipper, which will pay for itself in the first year, never call out sick, do a poor job, or cause any problems in the workplace. If they tried to make $15/hr the minimum wage, you'd see McDonalds, burger king, and plenty of others turn into a glorified fast food vending machine.
Unskilled labor is not supposed to be comfortable. It's not supposed to be something you retire on. It's supposed to be where you start out, and work your way up. When you're still on your parents healthcare plan, and figuring out what you want to do with your life. Two burger flippers get married and have a combine 60k/yr income? What kind of kid wants to go to school and have to answer that question of "what do your parents do". "well we do ok, they flip burgers". What happened to personal pride and working to better yourself?
I think the biggest problem this country has is dignity has gone out the window. Pride and a sense of self worth, without having to prove it to your neighbors by buying the biggest house and most expensive cars. The spectrum used to be mixed, but now it seems most people are either at one end or the other.

The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel.
