44% of Fully Employed Make less then $18.000 a Year

It's interesting, we think of how many people have started businesses in this country on a shoe string budget. And they struggle, fight and claw to get clients, makes sales etc. in hopes of both surviving and ultimately growing their business. Yet the argument here is if you can't pay a $30/hr wage on Day 1 to any employees then you shouldn't be in business. Think about what that actually means. Especially if you are a (young) person of color trying to start your own venture.

$47,000 a year is not that great either, and here's a couple of other links that covers people living from paycheck to paycheck.

Depends on what part of the country a person lives, but it is over twice what the OP suggested.

Then they don't need to be in business. If they can't run their business and pay a decent wage then they need to fold.

Business owners get breaks most folks don't get.

They are priority over everyone else.

What business do you own and run? Do not bother answering. None. Pipe down.

True, but is also points to the fact that the average American is suffering financially.

No, it does not. Again, it depends on where the person lives and the cost of living surrounding them. If you live in liberal run enclaves like LA, San Fran, NYC... then yes, the low and middle income families are suffering due to poor leadership by their local politicians.

I know small business owners who do not make that much and they surely cannot afford to pay that to their workers.

Then they should take a little less profit.

If you're not making a profit, then you don't need a business.

LMAO... that is complete nonsense.

The MEDIAN income is $47,000. No way the 50%-40% dropoff is that steep.

Note that your article doesn't provide a source for that claim?

Take the blinders off dumbass!

This is what the Democrats need to be educating people about. The economy is still doing terrible.

and yet we've all determined the thread is a lie.......why do you still think the economy is doing terrible......is it because you graduated in the spring and still can't get a job?.......that isn't Trump's fault........it's because your resume is written on toilet paper.....
