32. There need to be a federal floor.

Otherwise, right-leaning states would set the minimum wage at $2.00/hr or abolish it altogether.

I think the states should be mandated to set their minimum wage according to what it costs to get a basic apartment and enough food to eat in that state. It would obviously be higher in California than say, Mississippi.
