In response to "And since when is $12.50/hr a "living wage"?" by Strongbad

I honestly believe that the minimum wage should be enough that if you work 2000 hours a year, you're above the poverty line

so it's near $10 just on the basis that 2080 hours a year is 40hr*52 weeks.

You shouldn't be in a positon where you're working full-time and still can't love above the poverty line.
