It is simply amazing to most the civilized Western World the a country that tries to claim the mantel as leader of the free world, cannot even look after its own citizens most fundamental needs.

This is a serious issue. In the US, there isn't a single state where a person working full-time for minimum wage can even afford to rent a one bedroom apartment. Yet we look at people working 40+ hours a week and decide that they are somehow lazy and deserve to suffer.

@Laifu1: What's your minimum wage where you live? In Britain it's £7.20.

@tynamite: Same here, but in dollars, so a bit less than there. But we also get to pay for things like healthcare.
