"Everyone in the US should be able to work an 8 hour day and be able to feed a family of 4 pay rent, pay for transportation, have full medical for said family of 4, pay utilities and internet and basic cable with the ability to save for a modest vacation or entertainment (one movie a week for said family of four).
If the minimum wage can't provide those basic things - then minimum wage is too low."
What a bunch of crap. Who is stupid enough to try and support a family on a minimum wage job? A minimum wage job is just that, and no one with even half a lick of sense would consider starting a family on such an income. In fact, anyone stupid enough to do such a thing shouldn't be allowed to procreate.
A big problem in this country (USA) is we have a bunch of self-entitled idiots who think the government owes them something. It's this kind of thinking that is sinking Greece, and several other so-called progressive countries are heading down the same road. We're following close behind.
People need to grow the hell up. You want to have a family someday? Well then, what you do is improve your station. That means educating yourself in some manner so that you have something more worthwhile to offer than just an ability to flip burgers. What you don't do is go out and get married too young or have kids before you're able to provide for them. Self-discipline is required. Immediate gratification needs to take a back seat.
THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE IN THE ADULT WORLD. Unfortunately the USA has become overrun with whiners who make bad decisions then expect the taxpayers to bail them out.
Now, having said all of that, if the minimum wage needs to go up to some extent so be it. But expecting it to go up to a level upon which a family can be supported is just ludicrous and displays a complete lack of understanding of how healthy economies run. It's this lack of understanding that has the USA heading for a big fall soon. The money printer can't run forever, and the federal government can't keep spending excessively indefinitely. Those chickens coming home to roost are going to land hard.
The Founding Fathers must be spinning in their graves. The principles have been betrayed, and those who thought they were smarter/wiser than those who started this nation are going to learn a hard lesson.
