Everyone should be paid the federal minimum wage. No government employees should be allowed additional income from stocks, dividends, additional businesses, trusts, etc. That'll be the day minimum wage becomes a living wage.

I gotta ask, was that phrasing intentional? Because I don't think it's usually used as part of a sentence, just standalone.

Idiom for anyone uncertain what I'm referring to: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/that%27ll_be_the_day

As a native english speaker, I interpret it literally, "On the day no government employees... ...minimum wage becomes a living wage".
