The average hourly non-farm wage in the United States is $23.78. That equals to $49,462 per individual OR $98,924 per two worker household ANNUALLY!
There is absolutely NO REASON why the average worker in the United States cannot live off of these wages.
In fact, with these wages, and when personal responsibility is factored into the equation, there's absolutely no reason for single-parent families, children born out of wedlock, Medicaid, WIC, Welfare, or Food Stamps.
The AVERAGE worker makes $49,462 per year and yet we have liberals belly-aching over minimum wage and people barely able to make ends meet???? Who's fault is that?!
Get off your lazy asses and DO SOMETHING with your unproductive lives! There's money to be made out there!
Am I correct in assuming by your moniker you live in DC? If so, you should realize $50k will not go far in this area. That is, if you want to live in a decent home or apartment, own a car, expect to eat, buy clothes and other necessities, and not have to rob Peter to pay Paul.
The median hourly wage is significantly less. It's about $17/hour. That's the number that matters. With a full-time job, that comes to about $35,000/year.

That's probably true, but do you have a source? I tried to find the individual median wage, but all I found was the median household wage and that came to $50K per household.
