If they want more money, they should prepare themselves to get a better job. Is minimum wage for a reason. They dont deserve a penny more thanthey get

I was working, for a couple dollars over minimum, with a guy who was making yet a couple dollars over me.  But even then he lamented how the job paid less than a job he was able to get right out of high school, decades ago.

Wake up!  This country is heading downhill fast!  College is more and more out of reach, families can't survive without help from the government!  We're in bad shape and pompous, out-of-touch, ill-informed attitudes like yours are only going to keep driving us into oblivion.

Sure, you should come down to mexico, and see what a really bad pay is. Works that pay minimum wage dont requiere much. If you want to have agreat job, prepare yourself. I have been studying really hard all my life, even went to the US to get a better education. 

 

People in the US have it easy, thats why they go lazy and believe they will making a living flipping burguers. Wheni was in 12th grade in the US a teacher ask how many of us planned to go to college. A class of 30+ students, only 3 raised our hands. If your are that lazy to not even try and succed, you dontdeserve a lot. College aint out of reach, and you still have a lot of advantages (loans, scolarships...) if you dont make good use of it, it aint nobodys problem but yours. 

Ad if you believe is my attitude thats gonnanbring anyone down, you should really learnsomething before you talk (write) bout me. 

I'll agree that Mexico has it much worse.  That's why I want the US to DO something to keep us from ending up the same way!  I would have no problem going back to college, and I likely will, but I have it easy.  I'm in a good position. I'm not arguing for myself, I'm arguing for those who just don't have the same opportunities I do.
