You seem to think people had zero money when that was implemented.

Where did I state that?

Minimum wage covers nothing. Rent on a house is over the amount minimum wage pays.

Never made the claim that it was.

You said “minimum wage was never intended to be a living wage”

I said “never INTENDED - factually false”. He absolutely intended it.

Do not judge a bill based on what a politician says judge it on what it actually does. At the inception of the minimum wage it was below a living wage.

You now saying all that other stuff is irrelevant, moving of the goal posts.

I’m judging minimum wage based on results not the propaganda spewed out of a politicians upper oriface.
