While I agree that raising the minimum wage across the board to $15 is a bit much, I'd offer that the minimum wage kept up with inflation until 1968 and since then it has not. Had it done so, it would have been over $20 today.

Working full time at the $7.25 federal minimum would gross about $15k per year. That's less than the federal poverty level, hardly enough to live on anywhere.

I'd have no problem with a tiered system with the base level for teenagers.

Cheers.
