Going need more than $15/ hour
To live without any government assistance
Healthcare for a family is $600/month
Depends some can live at even less than $15/hour and/or no money at all "without any government assistance"...
Then there are those society epic failures that have no problems participating in fraudulent activities by stealing from the poor's public resources i.e., food stamps just because they don't qualify or are not eligible for it due to their income, assets, etc. ..Sad but true...
