So by your logic an employer would be required to pay every employee a wage that would allow them to support a family even if they don't have a family to support?

Yes. I’m talking about the minimum wage for any employee.

Consider the fact that it is illegal in the US to ask an interviewee their age, marital status, and family status, among other things.

None of that is illegal. You can ask, but you can't discriminate.

Um, no, you can read the law itself or follow some links on the page you linked. This isn't a matter of opinion.
