If only Democrats had the stones to do this.

    That’s precisely why states set their own minimum wage, which is unfortunately below representative of the difference in cost of living.

    So how low is low enough for you? How exploited do you want to see everyone?

      As I said above, an ideal federal minimum wage is enough to live on in the state with the lowest cost of living. More than that will put more people in lower income states below the poverty line when the price of goods and services increase as a result of the higher payroll costs.

        But if it never goes up, oh well. Not like it matters to you.
