For those complaining about minimum wage, why not go to the pawn shop and get you a lawn mower and weed eater. Get on your computer and make some business cards for your lawn services and hit the bricks.
Watch your business grow. You will be the boss and be setting your own destiny, to start other adventures.
The only thing standing in your way is Government.
Your lawn mower has a distinctly limited range without a motor vehicle to transport it; i.e. your customer base will be limited.
And those earning $8.25/hr on a full time job are among the hated top 6% of wage earners of the world.
Doesn't matter given the cost of living here in the US. Most of us don't want to live in Third World conditions. America is an exceptional nation and should expect better for its hard working citizens.
Most people who work at Walmart, the biggest employer in the nation are eligible for food stamps. I guess it's all the fault of the employees.
I live in an isolated town in the middle of the desert. the Walmart store is the largest employer in the whole town by a large margin.
I guess it's all our fault, isn't it?
Same goes for many isolated and/or rural towns. I know this was the case for a town in Indiana I used to live near; the only big employer was Walmart.

Because that would take some actual initiative. Why do that when you can sit there and complain that life isn't fair, that you can't make ends meet as a burger flipper, that it's not really your fault you're in the situation you're in......

The problem is, 'working families' and 'hard working' citizens are the only ones making MW. What about all of us who work a lot harder than the MW workers? What do you call us? "Lucky"?
Five yards a week, 100 bucks a week. 90 bucks gross profit. 26 weeks--2340 bucks. Buy a car.
If you can find someone to mow my yard for just $20, I will give you a commission. For my yard, which isn't huge, I must pay $45 for it to be mowed and edged. That doesn't include trimming the hedges, pruning or weeds being pulled for the gardens, I do those things myself.
Freemarket will take care of it. Plus, forcing private companies to raise minimum wage is not even constitutional.
The Supreme Court, in its opinion in the 1923 case Adkins v. Children’s Hospital of District of Columbia, made a strong argument that a minimum wage was a violation of the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of contract embedded in the Fifth Amendment’s language about due process and the deprivation of liberty and property.
