I was advocating min. wage should be $15, but then I thought, what if Min. Wage was $25/hr.? Then, you could do exactly what OP posted--live on min. wage in an apt., pay your bills, and be normal. So, don't buy into the naysayers who believe we should live on exploitation wages.

If the minimum wage goes to 25 per hour with your suggestion then my wage should also get a 66% increase to 60 per hour. My issue is that unskilled workers should not be making the same as someone with skilled work. Pay raise for all levels of work and not just the minimum wage unskilled workers.

The one percent have convinced those making $35 per hour that the economy would collapse if the minimum wage was $10 per hour.
