I'm not an American, you're wrong, and you must be a socialist to think that only slaves should work for $15/hour.
There's work for anyone who wants it. I drove through the local township here the other day, and a guy had a sign, 'I need a job', was standing on the side of the road.
He was hired within a couple of hours, it was in the local rag.
The goldbugs put up endlessly absurd arguments including US unemployment, why there should be a moonshot, but common sense prevails.
