The minimum wage as "living wage"

Use the Living Wage Calculator devised by MIT (http://livingwage.mit.edu/) to mandate the minimum wage. Such a wage is specific to locale and indexed, so that the issue needn't arise every year once enacted.

Why is this important?

The number of homeless and hungry in our country is outrageous and unconscionable. No one who works 40 hours a week should live in poverty. America is smarter than this.
