"My opponent must not be elected because he'll take your warm coat away and prevent me from providing for your 'right' to two bowls of soup a day." "Vote for me and I'll put real chicken in your broth!" "My opponent calls this 'surviving'?"
- freehunter 13y agoThe US government actually has a calculation on what the minimum cost of living is. There's the living wage, the poverty wage, and the minimum wage. For my city, two adults and two children is a hair shy of $20 for living wage and $10.50 for living at the poverty line. Minimum wage wouldn't even get you close to that. For the record, the US government does not tend to view a warm coat and two bowls of soup to be surviving in the US.
