I vote for corporations. Things really need to change or were in trouble. Wages need to be in line with cost of living.
How do you live on minimum wage?

No one is supposed to live on minimum wage. Who ever told you that?
Minimum wage is a "training wage". Once an employee has demonstrated his ability, and reliability to management, they should get a raise. Its in the company's best interest to keep good, experienced employees.
If there is no advancement beyond minimum wage, find a different employer.
Some jobs will always be minimum wage jobs--jobs that require little training, and where experience does not help productivity--like sweeping the floor--how much better is a floor sweeper with 10 years' experience over a novice?
