The thing is that most people who work for min. wage aren't single. After taxes, their take home pay does put them well under the poverty line.

The number of people
not paying taxes continues to grow. Y'all keep talking about such and such "before taxes" but from where I'm standing, it looks like those folks probably aren't paying taxes anyway.
Taxes might be coming out of their paychecks (and the gov't is stealing what they could have earned had they saved or invested the money) but still they are receiving a full refund of taxes at year's end.
