Minimum wage does not and should not equal what the head of household for a family of 4 needs to make to support that family. Minimum wage is for the lowest skilled and least experienced members of the work force. It’s a wage for those that are learning the basics of work ethic and teamwork.

I bet most people here worked some entry level, low to minimum wage job in their teens. It probably taught you some basic skills and you quickly left and moved on. It’s suppose to be a stepping stone, not a career. I know there’s a small segment of the population near the bottom of the ability to learn a skill bell curve that needs some assistance, but a huge raise in minimum wage is not the best solution to help those people.
