The perfect Minimum Wage graphic:

[riqster]

Here is a picture that is worth thousands of words:https://m.facebook.com/RebuildTheDream/photos/a.235506026477654.73774.197197443641846/742026485825603/?type=1&source=48&refid=28&_ft_=qid.5995473157916274938%3Amf_story_key.-235655062869251687&__tn__=E

Game. Set. Match.

(If someone can post the image, that would be awesome: I can't do it from here.)

On edit: thanks to all y'all for posting the pic!

Not bad at all....

8. It's obvious that Andrew Jackson is to blame.

As his visage becomes more prominent on a $20 bill, the food basket shrinks.
Therefore, the minimum wage isn't to blame, it's the fault of Treasury.

10. Logic!

4. I was just waiting for a friend to check out food shopping today.

The elderly grocery bagger and a customer of the same age were agreeing that the rising cost of groceries was due to the high hourly wages of the workers. They were saying they were happy to make $2.00 an hour back in their day.
They have it so backwards. This is what we're up against in the battle for hearts and minds.

5. Wow. Such willful ignorance.

6. I remember my weekly grocery budget

in 1987 was $30 for two people.

I just went shopping today, and even though I was watching my spending, I spent more than $100.

9. Oh yeah.

We eat simply, and pretty much "shop the walls", and it's still a lot of money.

Just got some chickens and are co-gardening with family this year. Healthier and cheaper.
