[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is whining? I wasn't whining. I said that I believe offering your nanny a living wage is an ethical requirement. You can disagree, but I'll still think you're a bad person. I have said nothing about anyone owing me anything. What I will say is, I believe we as human beings owe each other the courtesy of mutual support, and paying your nanny so poorly that she can't afford to get her car fixed when it's broken and lives paycheck to paycheck, is wrong. It's wrong to pay that little to someone who works at WalMart, or McDonalds, or anywhere else, too, but that's a conversation for the other forum. The fact that your nanny is so personally connected to your family is what makes this example, in particular, so very offensive. [/quote]

Because you have to have a roommate you aren't getting a living wage?

This is the problem with your stupid argument.  NO ONE is paid based on their expenses.  You are paid based on the market.  It doesn't matter AT ALL that you don't like that.  You cannot change it.

Do you really think that everyone can go to their corporate boss and say, "Gee.  I really want cable.  You need to pay me more so I can afford cable."  Or, "I saw an apartment in a highly desirable neighborhood.  It costs $1000 more per month, so I need a $12,000 annual raise."  That is such bullsh!t, and yet nannies use the "we have expenses to pay" argument all.the.time.  It doesn't do you any good to argue that.  You need to drop the entitled attitude yesterday and work hard at doing a better job.  Arguing that you somehow magically deserve the things that other people have worked hard to attain makes you an ASS.

You can say that I am a bad person as much as you like.  It doesn't make it so.  Additionally, I don't care - because I am 100% correct.  Don't like the American way?  Move somewhere else, sweetie.  And best of luck to you.  Maybe you should go be a migrant worker, so you can really get a taste of horrible pay and working conditions.  Or join the army - as I have suggested before - if you want real hardship for bad pay.  Sitting on your entitled ass for several hours a day complaining about your 2x minimum wage?  Which is, by all accounts, more than a living wage?  You can say you are not whining as much as you like, but everyone else can see it for what it is - entitled whining by a spoiled brat who hasn't had to do a hard day of work in her life.  [/quote]
