I don't think the point is that they have it easy. Point is that its ridiculous to demand 15$ min wage.
And to answer why we all are working - because its better to have more money than less. If poor people have it easy then we work to have it super easy.

Point is that any individual must have ambition to rise from entry level jobs. You rise, you get paid more. Not you slack and be lazy yet just demand more pay.
