I am not against a min wage because I know human nature, and I have a heart.[/quote]

But not so much of a heart as to think the min. wage should be a living wage?[/quote]

The min wage should be what it is...minimum.

If you need more to live on, which is very likely, then your time should be spent coming up with a solution as oppsoed to sitting around whining about what someone is not doing for you.

I will freely give out information on how to make more money. I have spent so much time trying to help people in that way. It is a waste because most people don't want the power of information....they want a hand out. Yet, I still try just in case.

So the only excuse is a lack of information. Maybe you never thought to get a second job, maybe you didn't know you could get on elance or odesk and make some pocket change. Perhaps it never occured to you to start offering a service on the side. Maybe you didn't know that just about everyone has a talent that someone is willing to pay for.

That is what people need...knowledge and action behind it. They do not need to sit around and tell me how I should spend the money my business has earned.

[b]If I choose to be generous with wages then that is great, I should. But that is my choice to make. You can make your own choices when you get to my level.[/b]

Do you view a living wage as generous? How do you justify, in that big heart of yours, being anything other than generous to the workers that make your business what it is? What do you mean by "get to your level"? Are you better than people who make less money than you? Are you better than the employees who are the backbone of your business? Don't you think its an utter embarrassment that in this great country of ours, one of the richest in the world, we have people working full time jobs unable to feed themselves or keep a roof over their heads? All this while people like yourself count your millions that you earned, yes with hard work on your own part, but also through the hard work, blood, sweat, and tears of a lot of people that work for you.
