Fixed.
Great article!
After picking veggies for a day at an upstate New York farm, Colbert descended on Washington to lament the suffering of illegal agricultural workers.
All right, I have a question that has been bothering me for a while now. Why are certain individuals more concerned about how much money illegal migrants make when we have a segment of our own citizens that fall through the cracks regarding wages?
I'm talking about waiter/waitresses. They make $2.60 an hour or something close to that. supposedly they they make the difference in tip, BUT, with the economy so bad, they can't count on tips. There are no guarantees on tips anyways. When people speak of minimum wage, I think they assume that waiter/waitresses automatically fall into that category when they don't.
I used to waiter/waitress 30 years, when minimum was $2.20, yeah, their pay has gone up .40 in 30 years. Talk about falling through the cracks.....
Fixing a couple of typos.
