Establish a national minimum wage template, which backs a living wage standard which will reduce federal entitlements.

Upon the creation of national minimum wage standards, workers will have a chance to avoid wages less than those required to survive. The data will be available to workers, the states and the federal government for conversations and decisions pertaining to the subject of a living wage. Once the information is accepted as the standard it is expected to reduce the usage of both state and federal entitlements. Historically these types of wage increases have been shown to stimulate the economy. Finally, the reduced government entitlements will be reflected in the tax rate and will be returned to businesses in the form of reduced taxes.
