What do you suggest to give working people a better life? I certainly don't think min wage increases are the ONLY thing we can do
Trick question - you can't "give" it. The mindset has to be changed first and mindsets only change when the person with the mind wants to change it. I grew up poor and had a poverty mindset. It wasn't until I was a senior in high school that I fully realized I didn't have to be poor. I got a scholarship and Pell Grant to cover what the scholarship didn't. In addition I had a job. Perhaps 'help" could be accomplished by a philanthropic benefactor who could provide for a person as they undergo cognitive therapy - that would be as close as I can think of one person "giving" a better life to someone. But then, how fast do you think it would be before there is be an outcry of someone trying to "brainwash" the person they are trying to help? "Living wage" is as unique to an individual as is DNA.
