Just to act as a counterpoint - not that I disagree with any of the points that you've raised - what should we as a society be doing for the people who simply can't afford to live on minimum wage? The minimum wage obviously isn't the only policy tool in the tool chest, but at the end of the day we have a whole swath of people working 1, 2, and sometimes 3 minimum wage jobs and failing to make an income capable of rendering them self-sufficient.
