Assuming that your figures are right and their figures are wrong. Since they base their calculations on the Consumer Price Index and you're basing your calculations on, well I'm assuming you didn't pull them out of thin air.
In any case minimum wage is not and has never been intended to be a living wage, nor has it ever been a living wage in reality. That was true in 1975 and it is still true today.
