I hear you guys have representatives for your government. Why not one representative for every thousand citizens?

I mean, that is a shitty argument. Besides, you seem a bit selective because last time there were reasons given on how to determine the minimum wage. If you ask me, it should be enough to live on - otherwise it's no use to work, might as well be jobless and get income from criminal ways. I mean, if it doesn't pay having a legit job.. There is more to this than just economics.

edit: only saw your above post now - of course it has downsides too.

Oh, and I realise that living expenses are different across the US, so if you ask me it should probably be determined on a state level, or at least adjusted. I don't know if your current minimum wages are enough to live on, so I don't know if it should be raised or not, TBH.
