Ok, clarifying further then, for my benefit.

I am trying to understand your position - this is my summary/interpretation which could still be wildly off base. Apologies if that is the case.

“FDR may have said he intended minimum wage to be a living wage, but that was only a speech meant for the people, so they think he will help. He was lying and never actually intended the minimum wage to be a living wage at all. Instead FDR wanted a minimum wage far lower than a living, thriving wage despite what he said”
