I don't know how I feel about this. I think.... People need to be motivated to "do better". The entire point of the minimum wage is to give you the "bare minimum" you need to get by. It's not meant to raise a family on. It says "if you want to do better in life, work harder".

lol minimum wage is 8.05 a hour before taxes in Florida. You think people can get by on $60.72 a day net? That's $15,743 a year a shit hole house in the ghetto with 800 square feet is going from$1000 a month and up. Even if you took the house for $1000 a month went to school full time to better yourself. You would be left with $311 a month left to buy food,pay electric,pay water,gas,car insurance. Good luck with that lol
