  Are you debating what you believe you can read from someones mind?

  Yeah, we both are. Your argument is that FDR said it so it must be true, mine is what he did contradicts what he said.

  Remember the old adage actions speak louder than words. FDR had the support to implement a living wage but implemented minimum wage instead.

    And back to the start we go.

    You said “minimum wage wasn’t intended to be a living wage”. FDR in his speech specifically stated it was intended.

    Your statement was factually false.

    “Minimum wage was intended to be a living wage but FDR and the american government failed to achieve this”. I agree. It didn’t become a living wage.

      FDR stating something does not make it true. Do you have any tangible evidence that FDR pushed for a living wage?

        I give up. You clearly have a wildly different understanding of the word intended.
