Why should minimum wage be enough to raise a family on one income? Why can't people do it together?

- willcipriano 5y agoI don't think the minimum wage is the best solution for the problem, however it must be noted that the families that are the worst off tend to live in places where it is more common to not have a male adult in the household then the reverse. Two incomes to support a family only works if dad sticks around and actively participates in maintaining the household (of course single dad's exist too, but that is dramatically less common).
- TomVDB 5y agoBecause there are plenty of circumstances where living together is not possible. What’s wrong with there being a system in place that ensures that everybody, irrespective of having gone through divorce, or death, medical issues etc, has a chance to survive with a roof about their head and some food on the table?
