And you think that minimum wage in the 80s is the same as minimum wage today?
If you have a minimum wage job in Mississippi and work 40 hours a week for a whole year you get 15000$ before taxes and roughly 12000$ after taxes.
According to https://www.mdhs.ms.gov/snap/ https://www.mdhs.ms.gov/snap/ you are then eligible for food stamps with 1+ family members.
If you are a family of 4 and BOTH PARENTS work on minimum wage, you still get food stamps. Do you call parents with 2 children who both work 40 hours a week lazy?
Should people with 4 children just work 60 hours? Oh they'd still get food stamps
Cmon give me the numbers instead of your feelings. My guess is you won't even reply because you already made up your mind.
- wtcactus 3y agoIt wasn't the 80s, it was the 90s, and yes, the minimum wage in the 90's was the same as it is today when adjusted for infusion.
