My problem is how useless degrees are for what people actually want to accomplish in life. 80% of occupy wall street (unyc study) had university degrees. They may have been employed but obviously they were not achieving what they had hoped. $15 an hour isn't going to solve that.

Not sure if you're bitter, but the whole condescending thing towards an entire generation of grads comes off that way.
If I understand your point, you think degrees are useless, so you think the people who get them are useless, and that those useless people shouldn't take the first job offered, shouldn't complain about not getting the job they WANT, and should apparently start a business that is somehow going to be worth starting, even though you think everything about them is useless? Forgive me if I don't "get it" :P
$15 an hour is about a giving your lowest earners a chance though. Making sure Uni kids are paid fairly is not the main concern.
