Democrats do not want to set a minimum wage as what to strive for but rather as a safety net if nothing higher or more skilled can be found.

Depending on what part of the country that family of four lives in, you would have to make at least $50K a year, and more if you live up North. So that means you would want the minimum wage to be substantially more than $15 per hour. Don't take this personal, but what an idiot.
