I say this: If you truly believe you could work full time and support a family on less than $15,000 a year, go try it. If not, vote to give millions of the hardest-working people in America a raise.”

Straw man. Who said that they could work full time and support a family on less than $15,000 a year?

How many of Obamites live on $15K a year, and don’t work hard?

That's it exactly. Minimum wage jobs are starter jobs, not career choices. Working minimum wage? Yeah, you're going to be living in your parents basement and driving a Toyota almost as old as you are (if you have a car at all). Or you're going to be out "on your own" with 2 or 3 room-mates wedged in a dumpy little apartment and you're going to know a dozen ways to prepare Ramen.

Minimum wage jobs get you by as you allegedly acquire real-world skills and experience that prepare you for a better job, better career choice. You want a nice place, nice car, maybe start a family? Then you need to do more, work harder and smarter in life. You need to do more than punch a time-clock and just show up for a minimum wage job.

The lie that a minimum wage has no harmful economic effect can be revealed by proposing to raise it from $10/hr, to $10,000/hr. Why stop there, why not $10 Trillion per hour?
