That just doesn't work though. What if someone is born with a physical disabiltiy and can't walk. Does that person person deserve a minimum wage job? What about someone who is constantly absent because of mental illness? A 15 year old? Someone living in downtown San Fransisco? Does rent with 6 roomates count as affording rent?

Tying a minimum amount required to work doesn't make sense when minimums are so dramatically different for different people. We don't need rubber room jobs where peopel are bored silly because they aren't capable of real work

This was addended soon after, but the work requirement was brought up because too many people refuse to accommodate "lazy" people that "don't want to work". Thus, it makes for an even more difficult sell than raising the minimum wage already is.
