If that isn't enough to live on then the minimum wage should be raised.
...and who will "vote" for this increase? Recent attempts to raise the state minimum wage failed under intense lobbying pressure from the "job creators".
Yes, in theory, it's a democratic process; however, with the "Citizens United" precedent it's simply "money talks", and guess what? People making minimum wage don't have any money left over to sway the political system.
