[signalmankenneth]

Here is a clue to all those stupid people raising a family on a McDonald's paycheck.

You should have stayed in school, and not dropped out.
You should not have gotten knocked up and had 4 kids by the time you turned 19.
You should have obeyed the law and not been sent to prison, now you have a prison record and that's the only job you will ever have.
Learn to speak fucking English.

I tried to think of a bigoted stereotype left out of there but couldn't.

I'm sure that little old lady working at Burger King to supplement her social security would appreciate racist x's comments and lay off the crack now.

Why do liberals believe entry level jobs are intended to be life-long positions upon which one should expect to raise a family, buy a house, and retire?

Seriously? WTF is wrong with you? Someone who made very poor choices ends up with only enough skills to be employed in a position that is intended for the unskilled. You already have government help for these individuals in the form of SNAP and other programs. You like to blame McDonalds for not paying a "living wage" but the jobs are not intended to be careers. The unskilled person is to blame for lacking skills. They are the reason they themselves are unskilled and poor. They are the reason they qualify for government assistance, not Mcdonalds corp.

You need to learn to spot the real problem or you will never solve it.

I know there is no point but one more time...

Yes, there are people working at low wage jobs who are kids who don't need to support a family.

But there are people working at low wage jobs who DO need to support a family. They had skills that got them better jobs in the past - but we're in a recession, have you noticed? A lot of jobs are gone. People are without work for years. Better to work a low wage job than not work at all. They still need to support the family that they started in better times.

And there are people - mainly women - who chose to stay home with their kids. When, through job loss, medical crisis, death, or divorce these people now have to go work -employers won't hire them because they haven't worked, so they are stuck in low wage jobs. I thought conservatives liked to have one parent stay home with the kids?

A woman I know had a business she ran with her husband. He abused her; after one thing and another, the business was gone, he was in jail, she was an emotional wreck, and McDonald's was about all she could handle.

But you have choices, those of you against raising the minimum wage.

You can reform education so that poor kids in lousy school systems and lousy neighborhoods get more skills so they can get better jobs. This will take money, by the way.

You can fully fund the safety net, so that adults with families who are stuck in low wage jobs can still get food stamps, health care, rent subsidies so their families can scrape along.

You can fund re-entry programs for people who chose to stay home with their kids who now have to work so they can get the skills they need. This would mean paying for education, covering their rent until the class is done, helping to place them with employers possibly by subsidizing their pay for the first few months.

I like all those choices; shall we do all of those things?

Or shall we raise the minimum wage?

Unfortunately, we're talking to a brick wall of uninformed idiots.

I didn't. Neither did Tekky. Just because you post lies doesn't mean we need to respond to them.

I didn't ignore it. I laid out various scenarios of why people end up in low wage jobs for more than just pocket money and offered several solutions besides raising the minimum wage.

Food stamps just got defunded by the house. So much for the SNAP program.

Conservatives can't say "there is govt help in form of SNAP and other programs so we don't need to raise the minimum wage" and THEN vote to defund or to decrease spending on those very same programs and expect us to think they have any integrity.

It's your own country and it's own messed up society you are laughing at.

And the really ironic thing about it is that the remedies people like you would use to fix the problems are making the situation even worse. Such as, for one example, building more prisons instead of adopting socially responsible cures for the ailments.
