My state charges property taxes and such, we pay health unsurance for nimrods, car insurance for people that drive their cars dangerously etc.

No where in nature do I have to pay to squat somewhere or buy food lol.



LOL all animals work for their food if you don't you starve that is a fact!



yeah, they walk around and eat plants, hunt pack animals or live in fucking trees and eat fruits.

since the dawn of civilization everybody has worked but now if you're rich you exist in a place outside of this



So what! Who cares what the rich go through. If you are hungry in a western nation you are wasting your cash on drugs or other worthless frivolities.



Did you even read the topic at all?

What the fuck is up with that? Frivoulous spending:lol:

Big surprise you ended up here... If it doesn't involve money you generally don't post, why the fuck do you even come here other than to annoy people?

They already pay far more of the tax bill than they earn of the income.  Most of the population are freeloadiers.



And most of the freeloaders are that way because their minimum wage full time jobs still leave them below the poverty line. It's pretty funny that you say 49k is plenty, when that's just barely double what is considered living in poverty in this country.

Any money we give to the poor gets spent- put into the economy, passed around, helping everyone. Any money we leave to the rich gets sent to the cayman islands, or given to other rich people in the form of $100million bonuses.

I think if you spend more then half on a months rent there's something wrong with this country.




Let's assume the average rate in the US is 7.25 per hour. Average week 40 hours. That's an average of 1256$ per month. Half of that would be 628$.

So as soon as a minimum wage worker has to pay 628$ per month, there's something wrong.

I charge 525$ per room in my house. There's no way you can get a decent apartment for under 800$ here. I dunno for you guys, but that doesn't give a lot of breathing space



Why would you assume the average wage to be the minimum wage?  I looked it up earlier and the average income for a tax filer in the US is around 50G.  Most minimum wage earners are probably living in their mom's basement.

LOL.  Then the exact same argument can be made for the money the 1 percenters spend.  Money you leave to the rich?  Who the fuck do you think you are that you leave any money to anybody, Komrade?  And we pay the taxes here, pal, not the bums.  Cayman Islands my ass.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

Minimum wage is a joke. I heard that here it's $8/ hour. There's no way anyone can live comfortably on that unless as said above they live in moms basement.

That's bullshit anyone I've ever talked to will say go work fast food, you will work your butt off and see that you never want to work there again. EVERYONE!




Why is it that a position that gets like 20 applications everytime a spot open's that we have to go through this 50 cen raise per year bull crap.

Just because something is easy to do, doesn't mean someone is putting less energy into their work then someone else.

I'm not saying they should get a 40k salary for coming home from work and playing videogames, it's just that you don't get Full time in most jobs and they're paying the bottom of the barrel, most jobs being made available do this, people who graduate from college go through this if they live in the middle of bumble fuck.

People who slave away at minimum wage jobs are dumb. This is America, live the American dream and work for yourself and make some real money. Anyone with a good head on their shoulders can do it.
