Someone receiving minimum wage isnt the problem. Its what the minimum wage is set at that is the problem. The minimum wage should be a living wage, and its not. Someone working full time for minimum wage makes a smidgen over $15,000 a year BEFORE taxes. Your housing cost should not exceed 1/4 of your total income. One fourth of fifteen grand is $3,770. Divide that by 12 months and you get $314. Show me housing for three hundred fourteen dollars a month. Even if it did exist, you still have utilities, food, clothing, transportation to and from work whether its your own car or a bus.... and god forbid you want to get an education so that you can make more than minimum wage.... People need to stop blaming the victims and put the blame where it belongs: Corporate America and the GOP. Besides all of that, this meme perpetuates the stereotype that poor people are poor because theyre lazy.
