I’m pretty sure I’m feeding and clothing my kids. I mean, I get what you are trying to say, but the fact is, everybody has a different price they are willing to work for based on their circumstances. Sweeping nationwide minimum wage laws are not the best solution for that.



Everybody has a different price they are willing to work for based on their circumstances but that doesn't mean you let them do that. Allowing people to work for low wages drives down wages for others, which is undesirable for lots of reasons including income inequality and not wanting people with families to become poor. Sweeping nationwide minimum wage laws is certainly one solution for that.
