This incident is an excuse to attack $15/hour?

Corporate executives fall to scams costing millions of dollars and they earn way more than $15 hour. Do they deserve their $150,000 or $1.5 million a year?

No of course they don't. But there is no law requiring CEOs make millions then sail off on golden parachutes. There are however laws against fraud, Ponzi schemes, etc. The $15 minimum is a law regardless of age, experience, skills. You're comparing apples to oranges.

No he isn't, it is a very valid point because what a business should do is simply fire those who do something stupid like this and replace them with another employee. That is just standard practice in business.

The employees were acting under the dierction of the manager who alredy makes about $15 hour. This incident has nothing to do with minimum wage and I've shown that stupidity and gullibility occurs at all levels of an organization. Why call it apples and oranges and just focus on the lowest paid workers?

These employees might not be the brightest, but they are willing to go above and beyond to protect their employer's investment. Of course they deserve non starvation wages.

These guys are not getting $15 bucks, they are getting $8. You get what you pay for.

At $15/hour, these places will be hiring recent college grads with English degrees.

The old employees will continue smashing windows though. The ones in your house when you are away.

And with American CEO's and corporations moving many of our best jobs to Asia, you think they deserve trillions of dollars in tax cuts.

You oppose paying workers $15 per hour, but you fully support giving the ultra rich $12 trillion dollars in tax cuts.
Trump's Tax Plan Could Cost $10 Trillion, Save Him Millions

And with Ted Cruz its giving the ultra rich $8.6 trillion dollars.

Republicans fight to keep worker wages low, and at the same time fight to give the ultra rich trillions of dollars (it's just too stupid.)

No, it isn't. No one is saying only low wage workers commit crimes, nor is anyone condoning the bad behavior of millionaire CEOs. Again, the $15 minimum is a law requiring a certain wage. There is no law that CEOs are required to make millions or have golden parachutes in their hiring contracts. The situations are not analogous.
