You don't think everyone is entitled to a living wage?

No one is entitled to anything beyond their Constitutional rights. At the bottom of the labor market, some workers' labor is simply worth less than a living wage. If we fix minimum wages too high then those workers won't be hired at all and will never get an opportunity to gain experience.
So a product shouldn't exist because you don't get the wage you feel entitled to when making it?
Apparently a lot of others are willing to work making, selling, and buying products you think should not exist. I prefer the market solution.
Anyone can start a company, and pay workers awesome magical wages. Does this not happen because every single company owner is evil, or is it because there are real constraints to this dream of entitled wages, divorced from market clearing rates? Go make that company and make your ideal world reality.
