"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." - Franklin Roosevelt 1933

Personally I including having a family in a "decent living", and given the standards of the 1930s where women were generally expected to be homemakers I doubt Roosevelt intended this quote to suggest two working parents.

I realize that a segment of the population has been working to redefine the minimum wage and what it's for, telling us that it's for teenagers who don't need a living wage, but let's be clear: at it's inception minimum wage was supposed to provide a family a comfortable living.
