everyone who is working fulltime deserves to make ends meat.  why should you work at all if you cant life from it?


So you expect the employers to pay to make ends meat even if that means closing their doors? What is ends meat? Will an extra 50 cents to a dollar an hour really make ends meat for these people? So now they can have 150 cable channels instead of 30?

AFter the taxes taken out and extra cigarretes they buy what does this actually give them? Maybe, according to you, and not to be rude, employers for any job, should be forced to actually pay employees enough to have a vacation, keep up on their vehicles and house, pay for kids college and their own, pay all bills, and as much food as they want, and so on and so forth. Is that good? That is ends meat? Where does this end?

Sure, employers can handle it, if they need they will just raise the price on all their products a few cents and be fine. Plus a few pennies does not bother me any either. But again, when does it end?

The funny thing is that most will still have two jobs in the end, still struggle financially because even with more money they will burn through it. Still beg welfare for more food money, and so on and so forth.

This changes nothing, and yet changes a lot.

it ends where the government experts say so, its called living wage and it covers all the basics.

and college for the kids shouldnt cost any money, atleast if you dont want te country to go down.
