I don't believe minimum wage would take care of those things today. One of the differences between then and now is that then you were only trying to support yourself on the minimum wage. No one in his right mind produced a family until he was in a position to support it, perhaps not in style, but adequately. The notion of a living wage now assumes a family. I don't know which came first. Maybe it was that people irresponsibly produce families so proponents are just accepting this reality when they set a standard for a living wage. Maybe is it because the proponents think that everyone is entitled to produce a family even if the rest of society has to pick up the tab. I think that one can survive on the minimum wage today just as you did if one only has to get by on his own. It's when we have dependents to support that there is a problem. Karen
