Erm no. If 9.50 per hours means you are not able to afford basic living costs then you are happily condemning a shit load of people to poverty.

The aim of the minimum wage should be to ensure basic living costs can be covered by somebody in full time employment, not some Dickensian tool to motivate the lazy.
