[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 1327535, member: 45230"] Minimum wage is enough to survive on but not enough to raise people out of poverty level. A "decent" living does not include most of the luxuries everyone now expects to have. People could survive on minimum wage jobs but they would have to eliminate many of those unnecessary luxuries. They would not starve to death and might not like it but that gives them incentive to try to improve their situation. It would be unfair to those who work more difficult jobs for the same pay so those other workers would also need a wage increase or they would just do the simple jobs for the same pay. And that would go throughout the whole economy with everyone's wages increasing but gaining nothing because cost of living would also increase. [/QUOTE]
