[quote=AN]But obviously, you can’t handle data that contradicts your POV.[/quote]

You haven’t shown any data to back up your assertion that today’s minimum wage earners are better off than those in the 80’s. Giving a couple ridiculous and irrelevant examples on how house payments have gone up at a lesser rate than minimum wage is is not considered as “data”. Show something that’s relevant to the discussion at hand – how probable is it that someone making $8/hour can afford/qualify for a a $200K house? You think?
