When minimum wage was created it could sustain a family of 3 over the poverty wage. You really don't think people work less hard today than they did then do you?
The current MW is just shy of supporting a family of two at poverty level. If someone had a family of three to support, the earned income tax credit around $5K would kick in to lift you up up slightly above the poverty level for a family of 3.
Where are you getting your figures. Today's minimum wage won't even support one person at the poverty level.
Do what all of us did when starting out...Get a damn room mate!!!
Your view is so myopic it's laughable. Please tell me you dont vote. Because I find it hard to believe you have the brain power to make a bowl of Ramon noodles without burning em.
