demand an increase in wages from the $7.25 minimum to $15 an hour... How about $22?
That's the approximate amount according to current news clips of welfare chea... er... I mean... recipients, on the upwards of 162 "low-income" programs and 7 core welfare programs.

I'll see your $22/hour, and raise it to $30, just to be fair.
Welfare recipients do not have to pay taxes on their benefits, whereas a worker is subject to FICA, Medicare, and income taxes. It's an educated estimate that the pre-tax amount of $30 would result in an after-tax hourly rate of $22/hour (+/-).

How about $22?
Ironically that is what the Left is claiming it would be had it been adjusted to keep pace with inflation in real dollar terms since 1968.
