I love being personally greedy. There is nothing greater then a banker handing you 1000 dollars. Nothing more beautiful. I agree with everything you said here. They're taking our individual freedom one by one. The first to go is the working poor. What's left are people that don't know the value of a dollar. They will do whatever you say for comfort and to live like they do. I gaurantee it.

When they take away our right to live it won't matter if we own fire arms. Look at your local cops and how over funded they are. They are a legal gang that has nothing to do with enforcing the law. There is no reason a cop should be dressed like a soldier to hand out speeding tickets. Theyre kicking more people to the streets. Which means more drug addiction. The working poor are about to be priced out of there homes. Which means there children as well. This is not going to go well.

Minimum wage is $7.25 in Pennsylvania. It hasn't been raised in 11 years (if I recall correctly).
That said, you can buy a decent house for $80k near Pittsburgh and the public transit while not without issues is good enough you can get to a job using it. So if you can find a job that's $13.50 an hour and are willing to have a roommate for a while, buying a house is reasonable.

Right to live?
Ain't no right to live. You gotta earn that shit everyday. Get up and do it or lay down and die mutherfucker. No one is going to shovel food down your gullet and pump air into your lungs. You gotta do it yourself.

If you want to live in a place like Washington or California you have to pay for it. Obviously you can't survive in those areas on min wage! Those jobs are for teenagers and people getting started in the working world. You're not supposed to work min wage jobs for the rest of your life! You need to move out of state and get some kind of skill. One of the loopholes into making good money is learning how to weld pipe. If I was you I Would go to a welding school and learn how to pass x-ray/ pipe welds tests. That will get you into a 5 year apprenticeship with the pipefitters union. After your 5 year apprenticeship you'll make the big bucks and live happily ever after ... You need to man up and get busy!!! Get a skill!!!!

The poor have food stamps and free housing in the United states so dont pretend like it's hard to survive over here! Most homeless people are mentally ill. If you make under 100k a year then it's honestly stupid to be living in Washington. Placings like that are designed for the upper middle class..

It's why i'm thinking about going to Michigan. I have a good friend there that says there's decent work. And there's cheap living. There's no reason to stay here anymore.
You say that but I just work that's it. I don't work in fast food or anything. I work until my hands are swollen 7 days a week 12 hours a day. Stock piling money to leave and hopefully it's better. I don't know if things will be better there but it will be new. And that's all I can hope for. I dropped out of college because I was a heroin addict. Top of my class and I threw away basically a free education. I'm not proud of it one bit. I could be sitting behind a desk getting paid half my worth. But I know i'm worth more. I just can't do another season of degrading work even if minimum wage is rising. were all being priced out of our homes.
The place i live now I kill atleast 1 cockroach a day and now I have bed bugs so i might as well burn everything I own it's not worth taking.

Uh I ended up here by chance I definitely didn't think that I needed to make 100k a year. That's ridiculous. So where should I live then if your the expert? Fucking arizona?

I've gotten food stamps do you know what 100$ buys you. Not even close to surviving for a month. Maybe 3-4 days. Shit just to properly season your food that's 100$ bill right there. I'm literally starving all the time and there going to take that 100$ because I make too much money now. I think every single person should have a 200$ food stamp allowance. There is no reason that anybody should go hungry in this first world country.

Anybody that believes that food stamps is a solve-all has never been poor. It's a shame that people are so callous to the poor in the USA.

Volunteer at a shelter or a SNAP program and ask about how effective the current service model is. A part of my current job is finding free housing for people who are mentally disabled and can't work, and the wait time can be years. Even the local shelters have a daily lottery for beds, most who apply for a bed end up sleeping outside.

If you live anywhere near almost any city in the entire country there's still plenty of entry level blue collar jobs starting at 20+ an hour. Most people can't hack it at a place that pays an honest days wage for an honest days work though.
I live in Milwaukee the companies around here are begging to hire people for 23/hr there's fucking signs all over.
