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.

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