Minimum wage used to buy more: http://www.raisetheminimumwage.com/facts/entry/amount-with-inflation/

I would argue that it should be at least double what they recommend - I'd like to see $20 as a minimum. Corporations can definitely afford it if they can afford to pay their officers multi-million dollar packages. I think we all know where the cuts need to be made.
