What do you propose someone do if they find themselves spending more than twelve months over the course of their life in a minimum wage job that doesn't allow them to afford food or housing or healthcare?
I don't know what the cost of living in Arizona is, but here in South Carolina, while it would be rather spartan, it is possible for a single person to obtain adequate food, housing, and healthcare on a full-time minimum wage job.
The problem is that you would be in South Carolina.
Yes, how dare they have low taxes but also a balanced budget?!
Every state but Vermont has a law that obligates them to play the budget-balance game.
It still has a balanced budget anyway.
