30 Days (2005–2008)
5/10
Dose not tell all the facts
5 April 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This has a spoiler in it, but if anyone has seen the first episode of this show you see life from the point of view of a person who makes minimum wage and lives in the state of Ohio. Yes prior to the 2006 election minimum wage in Ohio was 5.15 dollars and hour, but after the election the state chose to raise it to 6.80 everyone voted on it so even though I voted no its better to have state taxpayers pass something than just the state to do it. It starts off with Morgan putting all his money credit cards and such in a place where he cannot get to them. O.K great trying to see how the other half lives. he finds out how hard it is to do. The fact is he never held a minimum wage job he had temp jobs where you were paid for a days work, not by the hour but a set pay for the whole day you worked. This is not living off minimum wage. The poverty line in the USA for a married couple with no children is 13,200 dollars in the greater 48 states. its higher in Alaska and Hawaii. If he and his wife worked two jobs at minimum wage they would make a total of 21,424 dollars before taxes if you make that much in Ohio taxes would probably only take out 400 dollars. Thus they are over the poverty level. They will not live a great life but they will not live like how it was portrayed in this episode. He is a one sided person and all his movies are the same, go ahead and watch it but make sure you know the facts before hand
