Living wage pizza
==History==
==History==
The concept of a living wage is a product of the [[Social gospel]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pJ5zCQAAQBAJ&pg=PA127|last1=Lippy|first1=Charles|title=Pluralism Comes of Age: American Religious Culture in the Twentieth Century|date=2015|publisher=Routledge|location=New York|isbn=978-0765601513|pages=127}}</ref> The reverend John A. Ryan, after reading [[Pope Leo XIII]]'s encyclical [[Social Justice|Rerum Novarum]], was so moved by it that he wrote his Ph.D dissertation about minimum wage, and it was published in 1906 as ''The Living Wage''

==Criticism==
Hearing calls for a ''living wage'', a pizza shop out in [[California]] attempted to put in place a living wage, without the forceful arm of government. In order to be able to balance costs, the owner had to charge $30 dollars for pizzas, at which point sales sharply declined.<ref>[http://www.breitbart.com/california/2015/08/17/california-15-minimum-wage-30-per-pizza-massive-fail/ California: $15 Minimum Wage, $30 Per Pizza, Massive Fail], [[Breitbart.com]]</ref> The experiment has not gone so well. The owner has stated that "I'm terrified of going out of business after 18 years".
