But focusing on the numeric wage causes people to lose sight of the issue.
Like it was posted minimum wage should be well over 45.00 an hour. Meaning people that make 45.00 should be making 400.00, if that was true we would be equivalent to the buying power of the 70s.
Increasing minimum wage is literally the easiest step of the many things that affect buying power. Dismissing it is like downplaying doctors washing their hands.
Wages are a huge part of buying power.

Im not dismissing it, but unless we address both ends of the problem nothing changes.
Politically you are not going to get a minimum wage increase of 50.00, which is what is needed.
