All the job training in the world will not create a society where no one works at a minimum wage job.  There will always be a certain percentage of the population trapped in that minimum wage demographic.

Did you even read my post? I acknowledged there will be people working at a minimum wage jobs.

No one's crapping on them. But, why do you think everyone that works deserves a living wage? When I started at my first job, I was 15 and living at home. I had absolutely 0 bills and my parents didn't need to make me pay for anything (no rent, nothing towards utilities). Why did I deserve to make a living wage? 

Yes, many people are trying to make a living wage on minimum wage. My first question is how did they get there? Then I would ask what THEY can do to better their situation? JUST raising minimum wage is not going to solve the issue. Cost of living will go up as well as other issues that aren't going to help those people. 

Like just about any issue we face in America, the solution is not simple.
