Living wage

That's a good point. What constitutes a living wage certainly varies depending on where you live. I'm in SC, it simply doesn't cost as much to get by here as it does in California or New York. There's significant variation in living costs between rural areas, suburbs, small towns, and cities too. I don't think it's too complex to vary the minimum by area. It could have a significant positive effect in drawing business to less prosperous areas, too.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
