Should the government raise the national minimum wage?
The federal minimum wage is the lowest wage at which employers may pay their employees. Since July 24, 2009 the U.S. federal minimum wage has been set at $7.25 per hour. In 2014 President Obama proposed raising the federal minimum wage to $10.10 and tying it to an inflation index. The federal minimum wage applies to all federal employees including those who work on military bases, national parks and veterans working in nursing homes.

I choose both "Yes, and make it a living wage" and "Yes, and adjust it every year according to inflation".

I'm satisfied with the wage
@8ZVLBPD2yrs2Y
No, introduce a wage system based partly on number of dependents instead.
@8TR3QT83yrs3Y
Use the nordic system where there is no national minimum wage but give all the power and support unionization of workers so that wages are a thing between employers and workers
