    thank goodness most people earning minimum wage still live with mom and dad while going to high school......

    this is not the result of a poor jobs market, but a poor real estate market.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    It's a result of supply and demand. Simpletons need work, 1 bedrooms aren't evil!

    Everything about boils down to money but the fact is you have no class and precious little culture. You are a typical loudmouth Yank who judges everybody by the size of his wad. As Oscar Wilde said "they know price of everything and the value of nothing".

    It's about what constitutes a living wage. The minimum wage isn't enough to live on. There's something wrong with that picture.

    First paragraph, first sentence: "....promote the general welfare...."

    How is that ensured when a roof over one's head isn't affordable with a minimum wage?
