Not to mention, $15 an hour doesn't take anyone off social programs either.

I think you're just using hyperbole. 
I hope you are, I mean.
If you change "anyone" to "everyone" ... those are fair statements.  
$15 an hour will take PLENTY of people off of social programs.  All of them? By no means.  
The conversation about $15/hour should revolve around the fact that there will be fewer jobs, but also fewer people who have jobs and still need welfare.  It might help the government's budget and make more people happy, it might not.  But that's where the conversation should be.  Compare who is helped to who is hurt, add it up and decide if it still comes out positive.
But don't deny that some people will be helped.  Some people will be helped.  Admit it.
Only a moron lets the perfect be the enemy of the good.

$15 an hour won't mean a damn thing when the prices inflate to account for the cost.
