Hell, half the teachers I know have to take a less than minimum wage job just to live over the poverty line.

I'd like proof that "most hospitals in OK" employ people below minimum wage - citations would be nice.
Also, I've explained already why singles who work at $5.25 are above the poverty line if they work full-time - it's only when you account for children or live-in spouses who are not employed that the issue starts. Also this is ALL taken BEFORE public aid, for purposes of definition. So . . . it appears that minimum wage is no death sentence (and yes, I'm walking you into this one).
You've written a lot, but you're not really proving anything - I'd like some support for your assertions.
