Can anyone actually survive anywhere in the country working one minimum wage job? Should the wage be increased and if so...by how much?

Oh...and Mes...I see that all you've been able to do is put silly little insults on my questions. Which to me signifies you are just too stupid to have a real answer or opinion.

the min. wage should be over 9.00 a hour. however people don't remember republicans have always killed it. if wages rise, state,local,and federal govt. benifit, in increased collected taxes.u.s. jobs are better. folks will buy american shoes, rather than chinese wal mart shoes. but you cannot teach republicans.

Minimum wage is a Bourgeoisie capitalist ideology to support large corporations. The Workers of the land should unite and rebel against the men in the offices, and Ignite revolution!!!!!!
Or it should just be raised to a more decent level. Either way,
I support change.

Millions of people do. It requires adjusting to a lifestyle where only necessities are important. Luxuries are out. A lot of spending that we do is frivolous, that is, it is unnecessary. To live on minimum wage a person must get rid of the "I want" demon. They must learn to be content with the simple life and learn to cope with a few hardships. A person can learn to enjoy this lifestyle because of it simplicity and freedom. I do not encourage people to impoverish themselves---I never preach the gospel of poverty, which is a false gospel. If you have all of your needs met, then you live in abundance. Everyone has their own definition of what their needs are, but certainly everyone can cut down on their spending without jeopardizing their health and life. Jesus loves you and he will show you the way. Trust him for all your needs.

No.... minimum wage jobs should be unpleasant and uncomfortable. People should want to get out of those jobs and do better.
Scores of other entry-level workers are in line to get those jobs...pay their dues...move up...and make something of themselves

In your case I'd halve the minimum wage and even then you'd be overpaid.
