Not sure where you’re going with this.

Working most certainly does not have to pay an employee enough to support a family; entry level and supplemental work are cases in point.

I don’t quite get what you’re saying.

Well, it means that if I have something to sell you,
you must, according to the law, pay me enough for it for me to live on,
regardless of how much it’s worth.

Simple enough?

Wait. What? You refuse to buy it? You heartless b@st@rd!

I'm saying that when adults with families are making less than $10 an hour, they end up not working and surviving off federal and other freebies. They become a drain on local economies and the safety of communities. What's painfully obvious if you drive through cities is those testaments to former economic viability....those abandoned factories used to be places where people went to work in order to support themselves and their families.

I'm not buying the cheap labor arguments anymore. Globalist/corporatists still aren't on board with closing our southern border and sending home invaders (and unnecessary now legal foreign labor). That's unfair competition for jobs, keeping wages and opportunities challenged.
