A living wage starts at $40,000.

Answer 2

Zero is the appropriate mandated minimum wage...but who would work at that rate? Employers offer as little as they can, and employees will take as much as they can get.

Still, hiring good people, those that won't work for the bare minimum may very well advance a company a lot more than higher wages and salary would hurt it.

Answer 3

$100. /hour. If $6. goes so far to help "poor people" why mess around.

Just make the minimum wage $100./hour. When this fails to elevate the poor, we can just make it $200./hour.

We keep increasing the minimum wage by $100./hour until we have no poor!!!

Thanks for the 2 points, Hillary!
