One can lift themselves out of poverty, all that one has to do is try.

I don't know, maybe I'll have to stick with my Galaxy S4 a litlle longer, or hold off on buying a PS4 for a couple weeks longer. Or maybe I'll even have to quit buying coral for my reef tank for a couple weeks. 
Seriously, I don't think the increase in minimum wage will have any effect on my spending habits.
See the difference in me and you is I would gladly go without that can of tea to lift 5 million people out of poverty, you on the other hand would rather have the can of tea for yourself while heading to church on Sunday

Wages need to stay low so the provider can stay profitable? What about oil. Find the profit line on it and figure that one out. That right there is what is keeping most people in the hole.

You tell me.
Profitability at $100/barrel oil
Nation Break-Even Price Profitability
Kuwait 17 488%
U.A.E. 25 300%
Saudi Arabia 30 233%
Qatar 30 233%
Canada's oil sands 33 203%
Bahrain 40 150%
Oman 40 150%
These are 2008 figures.

Sez who?
You do not need to drive a car, you do not have to live in an area that's so cold as to require fuel to heat(if you do you can burn wood you gather yourself) etc, etc,etc...
This comment you've made reminds me of the deadbeats in Detroit who are bitchin' because their water got turned off, they think it's a right to have water delivered to them via pipe and sanitized.
