The question I would then ask (because I don’t want to put words in your mouth): do you think it’s possible to have a living wage where, if both parents in the family* are working 40 hours a week, the family could have a lifestyle above the federal poverty line?
* This is leaving aside issues of both single-parent families and states where minimum income requirements exceed the poverty line. Hi CA.
ETA: removed an extraneous space that snuck in there.
I think it’s difficult because Americans are very competitive. We worship murderers like Ray Lewis.
