Josh,

You must be joshing! And then there's that word "deserve" again. By what logic or evidence does every worker "deserve" a $15.00 per hour wage? Some workers "deserve" to be fired because they lack the traits necessary to keep their jobs and fulfill their part of the labor/owner/management contract. Until these sorts can resolve their problems that lead to their chronic unemployment, they "deserve" nothing beyond perhaps a hand up in becoming functional employees.
