Economic collapse is too strong but yeah, my issue is I think 15 is too high for the federal wage, that is a lot of money in some areas of the country.

I'm sorry, which areas of the country are you referring to where $15 per hour is "a lot of money"?

How did you do that math? That is a hard calculation to even approximate.

I know in my mostly rural county in Oklahoma $15 per hour wouldn't be a lot of money. Here's some numbers for Nebraska. You can break it down by county/city but they look about right to me. I guess if everyone remains single and has no children everything will work itself out in the end.

Is his argument that because a full time minimum wage worker is above a government set poverty threshold that there is no way anyone can be "working" and "poor"?

The very best kind of correct.
