But the question I raised, is why stop at $7 an hour when in reality what you want is everyone to have a liveable wage? Is $7 an hour a liveable wage? Wouldn't it be more "fair" for everyone to make $17 an hour? Those seem like straight-foward, debateable questions to me.

You're right countries like Germany, Sweden, and others that PAY workers decent wages and have far less personal debt and national debt and higher standards of living and better educational systems are far less superior to our country where people are far deep in debt and the division of classes is worse here than in the last 100 years and we want to make it even worse.
Hell, why should someone who works their ass off make liveable wages. FUCK them just let the CEO's keep buying their 10+ million dollar mansions and have their golden parachutes and keep threatening to move their factories overseas.
Why should someone who works 40 hours a week be able to support his family, have good decent schools to send his kids to and be able to pay his bills? Fuck that give me mine and fuck everyone else.
Why should we expect our kids to be able to live better than their parents as our parents and grandparents worked to have us live better...... Fuck that it's all in who dies with the most toys wins, and if I pay people less in wages I'll have more toiys than they will.
