No, we haven't. How about telling us how many of those working for minimum wage are the sole support of themselves and/or their family vs. how many are the second, third or fourth wage earner in a family? If you heard the Wis. Public Radio broadcast with Tom Clark this morning you will have heard that it is a very small proportion.

There are probably some very simple reasons why America's rates of child poverty, general poverty, and health care coverage is so embarrassingly high compared to other developed countries in the world.
