    Pathetic efforts, but it doesn't seem to matter to right wing ideology. Economics is a side issue of little relevance to them...

    Oh I'm not confused about the difference.

    It's leftists who think the minimum wage should be a "living wage", not me.

    Also wrong. Living wage analysis is not specific to heterodox political economy. It's easily embedded, for example, within neoclassical analysis (given much of the analysis focuses on the profit objective and how that encourages structural deficiencies)

    Not really, Min wage should be at a federal level an amount that disqualifies a person from receiving federal benefits, and a Living wage should be 4x common rent price in said area.
    Who is subject to min wage requirements needs to be addressed.

    Currently both sides are attacking the problem incorrectly.
