[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Try reading. Her friend shares a house and can STILL BARELY PAY HER BILLS. This should not be happening when someone works full time, while the executives at the company she works at take home millions that they made on the backs of people like her. It's disgusting, and you're defending it.[/quote]

And, there are people who make good salaries and can STILL BARELY PAY THEIR BILLS.  Sometimes, it is the way they spend their money.  As my dady said about a cousin:  "he can afford the luxuries but not the necessities."

As for minimum wage, only about 2% of workers are working for minimum wage--and half of them are teens or under 25.  I'm guessing most of the others are not single households.  If you raise minimum wage, teens will lose their jobs-as will others.  All workers will have to have their wages raised and that will destroy many, many small businesses.  Lots of owners start their businesses hardly paying themselves.  [/quote]

Then they have failing businesses that were surviving on the backs of their employees, and those businesses should fail and make room for better businesses.

Can someone please explain to me why so many people have endless compassion for the poor poor business owners, but are so quick to shout let them eat cake at workers?

You're not entitled to a successful business at the expense of exploiting others. What you should be entitled to is a living wage for your work. [/quote]
