You know...I read somewhere that almost half of the minimum wage earners are under 25 and under-educated.
yeah but all that's their own fault, right?
The ladder is there. There are no guards blocking anyones access.
So why aren't you near the top yet?
The problem with hiking the minimum wage... my wage is above minimum, but it stayed the same. It does give me less to feel superior about, I suppose... but more importantly, places that have minimum-wage workers now have added costs they have to pass on, making goods and services more expensive for me with no additional income to cover the difference. It's basically a pay cut for me, since the dollars I make now don't go as far.
Because I'm a lazy SOB who prefers time with his family to playing the corporate game.
Power & wealth, while not to be turned down if offered, are not my focus. Never have been.
I don't subscribe to Gonz's beliefs, just want some clarification on his comments.
