Now you know why they want a $15 min. wage.

They DO want families to try to live off of it.....

Then there’s why they want to _stop_ at $15/hr: above that, current entitlements tend to plummet if you actually _earn_ more, cutting total income nearly in half when making around $18/hr, and not breaking even with $15/hr+entitlements until nearly $38/hr.

Make $12/hr, total income including gibsmedat is nearly $80,000/yr.
