The reason Americans are so retarded that they'll actually argue in favor of companies paying people less than it takes to survive, is because they're fucking morons who are jealous of the idea of someone they think is a loser getting paid a livable wage, and take it as a personal offense. HOW DARE YOU PAY THAT FAST FOOD WORKER I DON'T RESPECT ENOUGH MONEY TO RAISE THEIR FAMILY WHEN ***I*** DO A WAY MORE COMPLEX JOB. THEY SHOULD BE BENEATH ME! They want to keep other people down so they can feel more important. They need someone beneath them so they can maintain their own sense of being more valuable than someone else is, and they don't think about how a system which depends on paying people less than what they need for survival is literally promoting crime, degeneracy, and death in exchange for CEOs making more profit. They're crabs in a fucking bucket.
