I believe that a living wage is a necessary, but not sufficient, requisite for economic justice. Livable neighborhoods, reductions in food deserts, better transportation networks, better support for public schools, etc. are also things that I believe are necessary. A living wage is just one piece, but one important piece.
BTW, I'd like to address Kevin's post in its own right. It is a challenge to a liberal talking point that is actually rational, reasonable, and free from snide comments--truly a rare find around here. Well done.
Libertarians and conservatives, please refer to this example of how you're supposed to do it.
Inb4 I get examples of how you're NOT supposed to do it.
define a living wage with a hard number. no business can justify paying 15 dollars to a dish washer or a bag boy.
the value of what they do simply isn't there. that is the problem.
