And what it does cost is offset by taxes on higher wage earners as well as more productive lower wage earners.

Money kept and spent by the lowest wage earners and lower middle class goes right back into the local community. That creates jobs and opportunities for others.

They pay so little anyway it isnt a burden on society in the least.

And no, im not in a lower income bracket and wouldnt benefit. But i believe the country would.

Even a few hundred a month to a lower wage earner is a huge deal.
