About This Quote
The Republicans believe in the minimum wage -- the more the minimum, the better. The minimum wage is the lowest amount of money that someone can be paid for working. It is set by law and it is supposed to be enough to live on with only one income. However, in some places, it is not enough.
If you are lucky, your employer will pay your salary just enough to get you by. You may have to make decisions about things like buying food or paying bills every month based on how much money you have left after paying your rent. This can make it more difficult for you to make ends meet.
If the minimum wage were higher, more people would be able to support themselves and their families without having to work multiple jobs or spend most of their time looking for a job that pays well enough to keep food on the table.
