And if you don't like the amount a company is paying you, then why keep working for that company?

Food, shelter.

Being able to pay your electric and water and sewage and garbage and gas bills and still eat.

Quick edit: I forgot rent/mortgage too.

Maybe even be able to have some basic healthcare like a checkup?  Or to be able to go to a doctor when you are sick instead of putting it off because you can't afford it and have it get worse?

Living without the fear that one vehicle repair will drive you so far into debt that you lose everything?

Maybe, just maybe, being able to enjoy a meal out once in a while? Or a movie?

Or we can just insist that people work two or three jobs and "work harder" if they aren't making enough to live.
