Not changing the subject much. Like you, I want everyone to be able to afford a nice, clean, comfortable, safe place to live. That's not too much to ask. I agree with you there, and I hate that we fall so short.
But in our economy, SOME jobs cannot justify a wage that you can support a family on. SOME jobs are unskilled, entry level positions. Rather than arbitrarily say that all those jobs must pay $35k a year, we need to help people acquire the requisite skills for jobs that actually are worth a living wage. We can't pay cashiers and bus boys and ticket-takers, $35k a year. It doesn't work that way.
Have a good one.
