Hear, hear! I propose we keep raising minimum wage until everyone's living conditions are comfortably above average!

Edit: In retrospect, I made a critical error; I can't tell if the downvoters understood I was loosely referencing Lake Wobegon, or if they thought I was just dumb

For the record, I just thought you were being sarcastic and using a dumb argument (but I didn't down-voted you) against the idea of minimum wage.

I have no beans with minimum wage, just the idea that everyone in the country should be able to afford to live in Manhattan.
