where does this money come from ?

Some of it comes from paying rational prices for products that have a lot of human labor in their cost. Yes shorty, that means you would pay more for your Big Mac so the guy making it has a decent life. And part would come from corporate profits, which have been setting records almost every year, mostly from relative, reduced labor costs.

How could you object to your fellow citizens making a living wage? You want to save 50 cents on a burger so the guy that made it has to be on food stamps? Or would you rather have that guy make a living wage, not on assistance, paying taxes, and maybe he could spend a few bucks at your business?
