Will people who have the skills to make $30 an hour now have their hourly wage raised to $120? I think that is only fair.

Shame on you for thinking things out.
Like BO etal saying it is only 10 a barrel and ALL the money will go to infrastructure so ALL drivers will get to pay their fair share.
Of course they ‘neglect’ to inform you that for every fill up for every truck the equivalent tank price raise etc will be passed on to the consumers etc.
When the ‘bite’ hits the workers will claim (rightfully) that the Cost of living went up so we need a raise to keep up.
Then some braniac will say the 10 worked so well, we will add another 5 to pay for NEW roads...etc ...
Just a fine example of a circular firing squad.
I have never seen the issue addressed by the proponents of $15 an hour. It is as if they have no understanding of the difference in skill and value between a job that is worth the current minimum, and a job that is truly worth $15.
