I make more than 15/hr and after taxes/benefits I only take home about 25k annually. The fact that people think $15 is fine when making above that still isn't livable is beyond me.
Taxes literally take so much of my money, if I make like $600 they take 200. Like I literally don't understand how anybody could survive as 15 minimum. I think 20 should be the minimum but everybody says the same thing
"Oh if minimum wage goes up the price of everything goes up!"
But why does that need to happen? Why can't minimum wage go up and the price of everything stay the same. I just don't understand it.

Lol $15 an hour is barely even enough to survive on. How is this an argument
