The worst part about a $15 an hour minimum wage is that it will devalue me. I worked my ass off as a janitor, telemarketer, construction laborer, and welder at night's to pay my way through college. I went to grad school while raising a family and making mortgage payments and I've out in almost two decades on my career.

Now some kid pushing shopping carts is going to make almost half what I make?? Are you telling me I could have spent the last 25 years smoking weed and knocking up strange women while working as a cashier at whataburger and be able to pull down 30k a year? Hell, that was supposed to be the retirement I'm busting my ass to get to, I didn't know I could skip the hard work and start there.
