Define living wage. Give us a number.A lot of people who are getting food assistance have a job. That job just doesn't pay enough to live on.
The fastest way to get people off public assistance is to raise the minimum wage.
The federal minimum wage has not been raised since the bush boy years. It's long overdue to raise the federal minimum wage.
We are giving big business even more of our tax dollars by subsidizing their employee's income with public assistance.
Employers have an obligation to pay their employees a living wage.
It's not up to the government to subsidize wages because employers refuse to pay a living wage.
