[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It all goes to show we 
1.) need to bolster worker protections back up and [b]pay living wages,[/b] and 
2.) we need to tax big corporations and the billionaires enriched by them a bit more.
That much is crystal clear.

Everybody loves to say we need to “pay living wages” but what does that MEAN?

How is the amount of “living wage” determined? 
There are teenage employees still living with parents, or single people living with roommates. They don’t need as much to live on as a single mom with three kids who needs an apartment or house. Does that mean the minimum wage should be set according to what the highest need is? Walmart should pay everyone as if they are feeding a family of four?

What if someone just isn’t ever going to be highly efficient or productive? Would you be happier if those individuals are unemployed and receive welfare? Because that is what happens when wage floors are set. [/quote]

What do you mean when you say productive?

And are you aware that employed Walmart workers already receive welfare?[/quote]
