Living a decent life alone in America. The costs go up if you want a family.

In my Inaugural I laid down the simple proposition that nobody is going to starve in this country. It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By "business" I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living.

The minimum wage should be $96,000 right now.

Doesn't the picture next to it show the cost for a family?

Redefine family as two (or more) partners and their pets. Ezpz

Right, but the headline is incomplete.
