"Should people from well-off families be made to see what it's like to live off a minimum wage income so they can not vote to make life harder for the poor?"
seeing as how the the poor vastly out-number the rich, no. I also don't see how the rich are making it difficult for the poor.
They pay more than their fair share of taxes (which in turn pays for many social programs that they don't even use). They also aren't lobbying to take anything away from the poor, except less of their own money.
