Why do you keep making excuses for others? Minimum wage is better than zero wage. We've covered this before: minimum wage is an entry-level wage. Take the minimum wage job, get experience and move on. Or at least show that you are employable and not afraid of being underpaid for hard work. There are a lot of people who have succeeded working 60 hours a week at two or three jobs at minimum wage while also going to school. It's possible, it's simply a matter of how hard someone is willing to work to change their circumstances.
Minimum wage isn't a 'living wage' though. The republicans would abolish the MW if they could. |

To Dummycrats, low wages are the problem. To Republicontins, low wages are the solution. |

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Not a living wage? So it's what? A dying wage? Lot's of people are living on minimum wage, Hoss. And many of those people working for minimum wage with a family of four are also propped up with food stamps, housing assistance, and medicaid as well, I might add. They essentially end up with a similar net effective income as someone making double what they do. I'm not making a commentary about right wrong or otherwise except that it's misleading to make it look like a single income family is getting by soley on minimum wage hours. |

Minimum wage isn't a 'living wage' though. Depending on your political persuasion, it's not supposed to be. It's supposed to make you want to do better for yourself. Kind of like the summer that my brother spent in the oil patch convinced him to become a better student. |

Must have freekin awesome benefits packages to get all of that time off to camp and poop in trash-cans.
What gets me is that 1 in 3 aren't working and not paying any taxes to support this society, and at the same time b!tching how others that do pay taxes pay more. Also, I read today that a restaurant that just opened near OWS laid off 20 people because of the protests. Congrats OWS!!! |

+1 My first minimum wage job was fueling airplanes at a private airport. I was 16 and drove a Jet-A truck all night and weekend long. I worked lots of overtime because the boss couldn't afford another driver. I had lots of friends that, at that age, thought my job was glamorous. I smelled like kerosene all the time. I wan't trying to live on that money, just make enough to buy parts for my first car. Minimum wage jobs are supposed to be transient opportunities. A way to make a little scratch without any real marketable skills. Minimum wage jobs are for those new to the workforce. The moment you make minimum wage a "living wage," you will lose the ambition of an entire generation. |

Did Bank of America drop its planned monthly debit-card ? If so, this offsets a restaurants impact on the economy by a long shot.... http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/02/business/bank-of-america-drops-plan-for-debit-card-fee.htmlPart of %99 Movements mission accomplished.... |

Wow. That's a stretch. I guess since we don't actually know the mission, you could also add that today's decline of the European bank index is also a result of the OWS protest. I also hear that PopTart will be re-releasing Wild Strawberry as a flavor again. |

I am thanking OWS for this warm weather. The solar radiation from their tarp village is raising the ambient temperature. |

What's nice about it? I also read that a deaf man was sexually assaulted at one of these protests. This behavior sickens me. |
