Any company who reports profits while employing people who resort to government assistance to sustain themselves because their employer pays them low wages should have every executive imprisoned for entitlement fraud.
This is not a company that can't afford to pay its workers a living wage. It just doesn't care because the government will take care of some of them. The rest can just starve.

And some people wonder why New York City does everything in its power to keep these fuckers out.

What SHOULD the minimum wage be per hour in the US right now?

Indeed - I bet they'd try this here as well, if they thought they could get away with it.

Quote:(Reuters) - Mexico's Supreme Court ruled that the country's top retailer, Wal-Mart de Mexico, violated the constitution by paying workers in part with vouchers only redeemable in the chain's outlets, the court said on Friday.
If there's a better way to describe people exhibiting such behavior other than "Greedy Cocksuckers", I'm unaware of it.

MIT has a living wage calculator. It's the best objective attempt I've seen.

I've seen different figures for different regions of the country.
But to reach the current levels of inflation it looks like it has to be raise to 17$-22$ an hour. But the 10$-15$ would be at least be a reasonable start.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.

I mean, we don't need people making 100$+ an hour for jobs that lots of time anyone can do (non-specialty jobs) while others can not even afford to pay their bills working full time doing hard work. Maybe that makes me a commie or a socialist but I hardly see how the system now benefits the common man, what we have now benefits the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer and have a harder time moving up.

I think maximum wage is a good idea in public jobs, in private you have no right to interfere with people's wages, I could be making 1 Million a month as long as I pay workers and support the costs of production. That's why it's called the free market.

I'm gonna calculate that per month... 15x30=450$... It's still lower than my poor country, how can you guys live with this? But I don't know what the cost of living is in the US, I guess it varies from State to State.

Not only is 15$ an hour not comfortable to live on, but lots U.S. states have a minimum wage that is half that amount. How do they even survive? they don't, it's miserable poverty and we have a growing poverty level.
When I lived in Arizona, the minimum wage was 5$ at the Waffle house, and you survive on tips. Europe seems to treat it's citizens with better wages from what I hear, what country are you from, blackout?

Portugal. We are considered a relatively 'poor' country and are in a crisis, there are growing social inequalities, but still our minimum wage is 475€, I don't know how to explain how much that is worth, but I can tell you a very cheap house rent costs 200€, add the 100€ for taxes of social security and IRS and electricity, water... Oh wait it's not enough 
But countries like Germany or Switzerland, even France have good minimum wages and social security aid.
