Yeah, I also learned in school that those are the same number.
The point(even though you already know it and are just being an ass, most likely due to the other thread) is that 24k a year doesn't get you a place of your own to live in, a car that isn't 10 years old or any kind of savings.
The Gov forcing an employer to pay X more a year to employees is exactly the same as the Gov taxing that employer X and then giving it away in welfare. But with the cost of living the guy trying to make his living off 24k is STILL on welfare and thus the problem is not fixed.
Again I don't think that flipping burgers should be an ending point for making a living. Even if you had 2 people getting 24k each it wouldn't be enough for them to have a home and 2 cars and kids(and daycare for there kids since they are both working), its just not enough.
