>Why not make it zero?

We should.

>The amount of the population making over minimum wage is the population affected most by minimum wage.

That's just not true. The people affected most by the minimum wage are low skilled workers and people trying to get into the job market for the first time. When you're 18 you have virtually zero skills, which makes you hard to employ because you cant produce very much money. Making the minimum wage $15 is silly because it hurts ALL of the people that are attempting to break into the work force. you've now made it ILLEGAL to work for $10 an hour. So now not only is an employer taking the risk of hiring an unskilled worker, (having to invest time into training and teaching basic skills, and accepting someone who has no history of being able to cooperate with a team or be punctual) but you've also used a gun to force the employer to pay them well beyond their worth.

Livable wage is a silly metric to aim for. 1, No one here can define it, and if they can they use a very arbitrary and location dependent set of criteria. I know it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside to advocate on behalf of people you think are victims, but all you're doing is hurting them.

There are THREE things you can do to statistically assure that you wont be in poverty long term. 1, Graduate high school. 2, Get a job, ANY job (which is harder to do the higher the minimum wage is). And 3, do not have any children out of wedlock.

Financial success comes from years of hard work and discipline, not from the government pointing their gun at Dunkin Donuts demanding they pay their employees enough to support a family. If you've got a family and make "$10. Or $11. Or $12." per hour, you've made a lot of mistakes that were all your own fault.

No amount of policy or top down control of prices will ever fix the behavioral problems of almost all of the people who are struggling.
