Life isn't fair, and it isn't a function of government to make it that way.
If someone is unhappy with their wage, they are more than welcome to find a different employer, open their own business, or suck it up and learn the necessary job skills to make more money.
Minimum wage was never meant to be a "living wage", it is entry level and nothing more.
