And your conclusion is exactly the right conclusion. It's the inverse of what leftists say though. Leftists think if a person's wage isn't enough to live on, their wage should be higher. In reality, if a person's wage isn't enough to live on we should be questioning if that person should even be living then.

As it pertains to people born and raised here, it might be a difficult moral question but if these people in question that can't live on the wage are immigrants it becomes a much easier answer. Stop accepting immigrants into the country.
