What would you consider a "living wage", in the current economy?

34. You are right and it's do-able if we cut out two-thirds of military spending.

We as a country could put everyone out of work to work doing something that needs doing like rebuilding infrastructure, converting our energy from dirty to clean like solar, wind and hydro. There is so much that needs doing. This is turn would stimulate other businesses that would provide services and goods to people who now have money to buy things creating more jobs.

Oh, also we need to nationalize our national resources so that our oil, minerals, ores and lumber revenues can be used to pay for a lot of this. Also, our millionaires and billionaires need to start paying higher taxes. Finally, we need to dump NAFTA and CAFTA and start charging high tariffs on our imports.

I might as well try to spit in the wind though cause only revolution will bring this about.
