Instead a household needs 2-3 incomes just to support themselves, and God forbid they get sick or hurt - minimum wage jobs don't provide insurance - because then they're "freeloading" off our healthcare system (aka going into massive debt).
This caught my eye. There seems to be a floating definition of poverty.

Is someone going to be able to support the lifestyle they want off of minimum wage? Hardly.

Is someone going to be able to provide the five basics for human survival? Most definitely.

The sense of entitlement is astounding. The right to health care. The right to own a car. The right to have a TV.

Point out where this is guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.
