Of course the minimum wage was supposed be a wage you could live on, a bare minimum that a person should be able to get by getting food shelter & still be able to work towards more. I have news for these fools posting about how it was "supposed to be for teenagers", They were not worried about "teenagers" getting "summer jobs" in 1938 when the minimum wage passed, They were concerned about an overworked public that was underpaid and frequently worked 60-70 hour weeks & still could not live.

It's not just a shortage of money. Poverty is part of a forced economic caste system. Capitalism works to keep a segment of society crushed under high interest debt, inadequate education, sub-standard health care and diet, and a social stigma that impairs motivation. Free Market Enterprise is crushed at the hands of the Capitalists.
