I did. All you got is propaganda.

Now come on, big tough guy, step up and refute those documented facts. Or was all that big talk just a symptom of the emptiness inside your skull?
Most of the 53 million Americans working in low-wage jobs are adults in their prime working years, or between about 25 to 54, they noted. Their median hourly wage is $10.22 per hour — that's above the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour but well below what's considered the living wage for many regions. |
That's propaganda from the Liberal Brookings Institute.
And this poster...

Even in the 16-19 year old group makes $498/wk or about $12.45/hr and about $25K/yr for median income - well above your $18K/yr or $9/hr assertion. |
...just blew you and your propaganda masquerading as truth out of the water.
The claims of the Brookings Institute are true if,
and only if, the Cost-of-Living is uniform throughout the entire United States and your own government admits that it is not.
Which is more: $44,000 or $100,000?
That is a trick question. 100,000 > 44,000 but the minute you stick that "$" in front of those numbers it changes everything
Now, $44,000 can be less than, equal to, or greater than $100,000 and it all depends on the Cost-of-Living for any of the 392 Metropolitan Statistical Areas you are comparing.
$10.22/hour in San Fransisco does not equal $10.22/hour in Cincinnati.
At $10.22/hour in San Fransisco, you'd probably be sharing a $2,250/month one room efficiency with 3 other people.
In Cincinnati, at $10.22/hour you'd be living in this 2-bedroom and still have $960/month to spend.
Isn't that nice?
Of course, if you want a 2-bedroom with a swimming pool you'll have to pay an exorbitant $500-$550/month.
Because you cannot afford to live where you live it does not logically follow that everyone else in the US cannot afford to live where they live.
So, why don't you define "living wage" objectively in no uncertain terms?
After you do that, I'll teach you the horrors of Demand-pull Inflation, because it's certain you have no idea what that is.
