$10 an hour

In another thread I just read that Ford is hiring people at $10 an hour for jobs that previously paid $25 an hour.

It made me wonder how people live who earned $10 an hour. They not only can't take care of a family on this but can't even take care of themselves.

This would leave them with about $1350 a month after tax. Health insurance alone would cobble up 80% of this.

My question is, what is a fair living wage?

and who here is against a fair living wage?
