Definitely not "Ridiculously false". I've lived in the midwest most of my life. You can live ~1 hour within a major metropolitan area (minus chicago) and rent an apartment for $500-$800 a month.
$10 / hour is $20,800 a year. At that rate your effectively paying 0% tax and you probably qualify for heat assistance, free insurance, etc.
I didn't say live like a King. I basically said meant live life.

- eli_gottlieb 13y agoA salary that qualifies for and requires public assistance is not a liveable salary.
- lcfg 13y agoPublic assistance is offered to maintain livable conditions. It would seem that qualifying for assistance does the opposite of what you think it does- it produces a "livable salary".
- sxtxixtxcxh 13y agono it doesn't produce a "livable salary", it pushes costs of "livable-salaried" employees to the public.
