3. Not to be a downer, but...

Just to play devil's advocate...

How many of those people would have worked less than 35 years without those jobs? Each year adds $1028 to their average salary, and the get payed at least 32% on it. That would be an extra $27 per person per month SS would be paying out.

Or they would be earning $13 more than if they had spent that year earning minimum wage. I believe everyone should be able to work a $36,000 a year job, but just want to point out that the original argument is missing a piece of its logic.
