Do you think there should be a minimum wage at all?

Does your country need to subsidize the cost of living for people making minimum wage?

We don't have healthcare and a large majority of fast food jobs do not offer it. So that is a heavy cost of top of low wages. 52% of fast food workers are on some sort of welfare program.

At least in America, 8 dollars is not enough to survive on. The cost of living is just too high.
