    No, we call it the “minimum wage” because it’s the minimum to be legally paid

    It’s meant to be a living wage, and in case that’s not clear enough for you

    and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living.

    quoted from FDR, the guy who got the initial minimum wage laws passed in the US
