Can You Afford To Fly To Canada For Healthcare? Your Tax Dollars Pay For A Lot Of Privilege You Can't Have And They Don't Care.

Minimum wage was never intended to be a livable wage. Minimum wage is intended for those entering the work force with minimum skills and abilities for them to be able to get a foot into the door of being a productive member of society.
If you are not paid what you expect, you and your employer have differing value on you doing that job. That meansnit is time to upskill yourself or find an employer that does appreciate your skills and abilities and will pay accordingly.

Minimum wage is there to keep the richest of the rich from paying slave wages which is what they're doing now since most jobs are part time without benefits. It's an ugly world out there for the majority of people.

Support for your claim would be where?

What is it you're going for here slim? You're right about what minimum wage is because you know how to Google, copy and paste? That seems to be the problem. What's written on paper and reality rarely coincide. (you might want to try not to take memes so seriously.) If Trump has taught us anything it's fact and truth are whatever you want it to be.

Has Congress voted to raise minimum wage? Has Congress voted to give themselves raises. What minimum wage is wasn't my point ... at all. Not at all. I suppose I could go make a meme in which this conversation would make sense.

"What is it you're going for here slim?"

If you want the minimum wage to be higher, start with your state, that governs your state's population, not a federal government that governs 325 million. That is the way the system is set up, dissemination of responsibility and power. The local government knows more closely the needs of the local area, that is what they are there for.

No. I mean this conversation.

That minimum wage was never intended to be a living wage.

Minimum wage was meant to help the masses out of a depression. Copying and pasting isn't a conversation. It's you needing to be right about something you googled. That's not a conversation. That's a need and this ... This is just a meme.

Yes it is, but it is also you complaining about something. Something you can address through your state legislation. It is not a federal government issue.

Federal minimum wage isn't federal minimum wage? If there is a point to your need I'm not getting it. States set their minimum wage by what the federal government says it is.

That statement clearly shows you did nor read anything beyond these comments. States can set whatever they want as a minimum wage. But when there is a difference in state/federal minimum wages, the employees are to be paid the higher of the two. Do you understand the true meaning of "state" and when not used in "United States"? The US government system was set up for DE-centralization of power and responsibility so the individual states can legislate for their people better. If you think it'd be easy to set a living wage for the entire country, look up cost of living comparison between, Hawaii, California, Alaska, Louisiana, South Dakota, Wisconsin, or all 50 states if you're so inclined. No links this time, since that isn't conversation, you can look it up yourself.

And as for my other question,
"Support for your claim would be where?"
I have yet to see you provide anything supporting your view other than your opinion.

"The purpose of the minimum wage was to stabilize the post-depression economy and protect the workers in the labor force."

"When an employee is subject to both the state and federal minimum wage laws, the employee is entitled to the higher of the two minimum wages."

So you should address a "not good enough" minimum wage with your state legislature.
