Even a single person with no children can be self sufficient on $8 bucks per hour, minus taxes, minus gas, minus insurance, minus over priced rent.. etc. Raising the minimum wage would solve just about everything. For example:IYou want to get these greedy, disgusting, corporate clowns attention? Quit shopping at Wal-mart and big corporate chains and start shopping at small businesses. Also, reduce your insurance coverage to liability only if you can. Shop at second hand stores, get everything used. Why buy new? It's considered used the minute you buy it anyways. Only buy the cheapest food, rough it for a while, the other greedy companies will have to lower their prices, their stocks would fall, their income will go down. WE are the 99% they will feel it. Raising minimuge wage would be great because these corporate hoards would have to pay their workers something they can actually live on, and intead of taking home 20 million per year each, they may have to only take home 2 million per year. WHO CAN'T live on 2 million a year??? Get what you want at garage sales .. Quit going to corporate restaurant chains... go to ma and pa places. Trade services, barter with eachother...

Let minimum wage be a state issue not a federal.The feds have no business telling me how much I can & can't pay someone.Most people don't & won't work for minimum wage.
