Bringing up mentally ill and handicapped people is dishonest to this discussion.

I don't see why it is. They're adult workers and in some circumstances are able to and need to work.

Because they dont even have the opportuntiy to make choices to increase their wage. The government should be making their lives easier and giving them the minimum livable salary + 10%.

Minimum wage is not a minimum livable salary in most places though.

And if you did give that to anyone for free, why would anyone work the 48% of jobs that pay minimum wage, if they could get more for being disables/sick/unable to work etc? Youwould see tons of people suddenly being injuried/handicapped etc.

Choice between working an 80 hour week just to survive barely, or breaking your freaking legs and being stuck in a wheelchair....I think alot of people would take the chair in a second.

Same with jail to be honest, I mean, that is often considered a large reason why many people turn to crime, the alternative for them (in their eyes at least) is working crappy min wage jobs and barely surviving. Crime doesn't pay for the average person, but they still commit them because it's freaking better then the alternative to them.
