[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not country’s job to fix. They should have saved more when they were young.[/quote]

Hard to "save more" when almost half of Americans only have access to low wage jobs that don't pay enough to save anything.[/quote]
So raise the minimum wage and put more people out of work? That won't help.[/quote]

When an employer employs someone for 40 hours out of every week it's no longer relevant what the employer thinks that person is worth paying.  When you take up that much of someone's time you become responsible for their livelihood and have a fundamental responsibility to pay them a living wage.

Employers should be paying living wages.  The fact that taxpayers are picking up the slack for what companies should be paying by providing benefits like food stamps to low wage workers amounts to massive corporate welfare.[/quote]

It’s actually better in the long run for companies to provide job training rather than inflated wages.
If you give a man a fish....

Just say no to hand outs. Say yes to hand ups![/quote]

Living wages and job training are not mutually exclusive. And living wages aren’t inherently inflated wages. Across the board wages for all but the top earners have stagnated in this country. CEOs and thier directs get inflated wages; the rest of the population gets table scraps and that’s accelerated under GOP leadership.

Interesting to see all the Ayn Randian contempt for the working and middle class on this thread.[/quote]

Last time I looked, income inequality rose most under Obama. Why did Obama hate the poor and middle class that his policies when the democrats controlled both houses benefited the liberal elite?
Sorry to burst your bubble .[/quote]
