 I see no one responded to this meaningful, challenging, fair question.
Nebe, not every single job in our society, can pay a wage that an adult can live on.  The guy who owns a small pizza parlor, cannot pay his busboy and cashier, $40,000 a year.  The math doesn't work, not even close.
I rose above minimum wage by listening to people who I trusted, who told me how to live a stable life.  It's harder than it should be, there are more pitfalls and traps than there should be, but its within reach of most of us.
