I want a politician to define ‘livable wage’ for me.
“Livable’ for who? a high school drop out,unmarried, with kids ? a high school graduate living with their parents?
a retiree with a paid-off house?
The idea of a “livable wage” has to be based on the assumption that someone should be paid just for existing,
regardless of the value they provide through their labor.
When the pols argue for a “livable wage”,
what they’re saying is everyone should be provided a living,
then whatever they can make on top of that is gravy.
