[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1702447, member: 50088"] Even defining a "living wage" is nearly impossible. Too many factors and circumstances. How do you set a living wage for the single guy vs. the family man with 5 kids when they are doing the same job? Does the government have to set a thousand different living wages based on location (Manhattan vs. living in Alabama for example)? What is "living"? Most "poor" people in America have a roof over their heads, a refrigerator, stove, microwave, A/C, flat screen TV, cell phone, and all the other basics. They are actually rich compared to much of the world who are really dirt poor just trying to survive until tomorrow. Entry level minimum wage jobs aren't designed to support a family on. Most of these people are one among a household of income earners. Most often teens living with parents. If they are older adults, then they clearly took the wrong path in life. It's up to them to advance themselves. The government cannot advance you. [/QUOTE]
