The premise of minimum wage quote

This was an interesting quote I saw today, I don't know who wrote it, so if you know let me know!
I know a lot of people disagree with this, but I agree 100%.

"The premise of minimum wage, when it was introduced, was that a single wage earner should be able to own a home and support a family. That was what it was based on; a full time job, any job, should be able to accomplish this.


The fact people scoff at this idea if presented nowadays, as though the people that ring up your groceries or hand you your burgers don’t deserve the luxury of a home and a family, is disgusting."


What are your thoughts?

  1. i do agree with the above, i think i've seen the quote somewhere on Guardian. it's really sad when people (often with a degree) have to work for a really small pay...

  2. It's true, especially considering how shockingly expensive it is to go to school!
