$9.50/hr is $19,760/yr. Well under the $24k line it takes to get approved for food stamps.
$11.75/hr is still low enough to qualify for foodstamps.

I'm not saying anyone needs to be forced to pay anyone any amount of money.
I was just pointing out that Minte said "I hope no one in our organization needs government assistance."

This kind of thinking seems to me that he's naive to the struggles of people at that level of income. That's all.
