Stop buying iPhones and bluerays and playstations and spinning rims and eating out all the time and you WONT NEED $15/hr .
But if you WANT $15/hr quit buying shit you don't NEED for a little while so you can afford to survive until you can earn it like everyone else who is already there.
People who don't understand the concept of short term sacrifice for long term prosperity will NEVER have enough to "survive" regardless of the minimum wage. It's like these payday loan places.Quit buying cigarettes for one goddamn month and you'd be caught up. |
Stop being ignorant to the real problem. Food, Rent, utilities, everything is going up in price if you can't afford to put that roof over your head and pay for school.
Let me go down your list so I can dink off these rather rude comments from you.
Ramen or a sack of beans and rice and water to survive and splitting a $400 a month apartment 2 or 3 ways until you're done with school does not require $15 an hour. IPhones and BMW leases do.
Where I live, an apartment that is 400 a month to rent is non-existent. 400 dollars is YOUR share two-ways. You can't survive off beans, rice and water for 3 or 4 or more years. iPhones and BMW leases need much more than 15 an hour. You pretend to know where I live and you don't, we also taxes on virtually everything, including utilities. iPhones and BMWs suck anyways.

People who wish to live beond their means? So their job doesn't require a cell phone so they are in constant contact with the business? I know plenty of people who hate minimum wage and welfare and would love to go to school but they can't afford it, eating and paying rent. Most of these people fell on hard times because people like you forced your way up a corperate ladder and created a huge problem in the US. People going homeless, who want to go to school and better themselves, can't apply for loans cause they have no assets, etc. People are dying on the streets because of people like you.

Again with the 15/hr bullplop. You automatically think that people who your current mimimum wage are out buying iphones, blurays, and playstations and spinning rims and eating out all the time? How ignorant are you of social class do you not see that people actually spend their money on bills and the necessities they need to survive. The people you see doing that are the ones living off mommy and daddy's dime. Those people are very materialistic and very undeserving of any job their parents help them obtain.
But if you WANT $15/hr quit buying shit you don't NEED for a little while so you can afford to survive until you can earn it like everyone else who is already there.
Why are you raging off at me about this crap? All I said is where I live ( In CANADA I might add) minimum wage is 11/hr, which is not much to survive on when rent is 8-900 dollars, utilities are 150 to 300 or more. Getting basic supplies like milk and bread are expensive in themselves. People work for their money, including me. So I suggest you change your tone with me.

People who sacrificed everything and gained nothing are just rejects according to you. Okay, we have the next republican candidate right here. Hey Clone-Mitt tell us again how your plan to put people on the streets is a good one?
