Livable wage is a throwaway line that doesn't mean anything for 2 reasons:

1. I can live on minimum wage and steadily accumulate wealth.
2. Entry level jobs aren't meant to be a career that sustains a family, but a foothold into the labor market.

Was just talking to a high school kid yesterday and he's a burger flipper at McDonalds. Couldn't have more respect for him. They're paying him a fortune and giving him as many hours as he will take.

If someone says I can't accept a wage I agree to, or couldn't live on it, I tell them to get outta here with their ignorant tyranny.
