Should a minimum wage be a "living wage"?

[National Socialist]

Its a good idea. Fortunately places like Costco already pay their employees a decent wage...I hope they put assholes like wal mart out of business...I wish there was one closer to me...closest one is 100 miles away in Tn.

This is an example of why you need a minimum living wage. It's also why we don't need immigrants moving in to cause wage deflation.

This is a contract job so they don't have to pay minimum wage. They put out a report that it cost $7.00 an hour to run your car when I used to work for www.uber.com. So the person taking this job is only making $3.50 an hour. How can they afford to pay so little and still keep the parts delivery on time. Easy answer is illegal immigrants doing the job.
