    Let’s say the gas station worker makes $15 an hour

    Let’s say gas is $3 per gallon

    That means if the gas station worker wasn’t there the gas station could give away 5 gallons of gas for free per hour and still make the same profit.

    Which is better for the whole society? One person making $15 an hour doing a task that 49 other states have no problem doing themselves. Or 1 person from the community getting 5 free gallons of gas every hour?

    If you never stop paying that person $15 an hour, you can never move on to better things.
