> a minimum hourly rate of about five dollars after tax

US federal minimum wage is $7.25 (and higher in many states), with income tax being functionally negative at low incomes. You could adjust downward by 10% to account for the five weeks of paid leave but that still gets you $6.50/hr.

Also account for the enormous cost of healthcare which is not paid for by taxes.
