You've used Wikipedia for your definition for living wage and it included my next definition question regarding "minimum wage" - fine. Still waiting on the rest of the question.

Now do you understand that what constitutes a "living wage" in Hawaii is vastly different than Spivey Corner or New York City or or Del Rio? So really, by definition a so-called "living wage" is more of a concept - do you not agree?

So Witty, how does a moving target like a "living wage" correlate to the "minimum wage", a fixed mandate? Does/should a "living/minimum wage" change based upon ones location or the number of mouths they need to feed? Should a cell phone, a SUV, and a 60" plasma be included in the mix for determining what is a "living wage"?
