never meant to provide a living wage

well isn't that the darnedest thing we complain about people living on "the government tit" yet some jobs don't pay a wage you can live on. What are these people supposed to do? Drop a bunch of money for college that *Might* get them a better job? or should they just use some magic spells to make more cash? Lets face it, Either we subsidize people with government money, or we make minimum wage affordable.

I'm one of the minimum wage people, and I assure you It is NOT easy to live on such a low income I'm going to have to make the choice between Buying Food for next or Buying Gas for my car to drive the 200 miles a week I do to get to class

IMO, Minimum wage is a joke. I knew a guy who was hired into my place of work in 2001 at $9.00/hr, while new hires today make the lowest legal
