I agree with Gatorade Frost, that minimum wage should=cost of living. Admittedly, I don't know much about economics/wages, and I'm wondering if one of you who do could explain to me why this is/isn't possible. Instead of minimum wage being Federal, why not be set individually by state according to cost of living? Is this totally unrealistic for me to think this way?
