I agree completely that it is a crime against humanity for people to work full-time and live in poverty. As it happens, I have developed a solution that would establish $15/hr.; $600/wk. as the minimum income (in the U.S.) and definitely have further great benefits for society — while it could save employers money: "For Crying Out Loud, Accept That A Solution Actually Exists" (a "3 min read" — including options for further reading — here in Medium).
