National minimum wage is $7.24 working 40 hours a week for 52 weeks a year gets you around $14,500 BEFORE taxes which is about 15%. So if you work part time (like 32 hours a week so your employer doesn't have to pay your health care) you pull in just over 11k before taxes.

So you live in a trailer park and eat off food stamps.
