Their idea of a 'living wage' ends up meaning that if you got a car, microwave, flatscreen w/ cable, and Nike shoes then you're still at the poverty line --and what's sobering is that this is not an exageration!
No one points out to the media that the American idea of “poverty” means you have all of those things and more. Go to an “impoverished” village in Africa or Asia. Go somewhere that pays people pennies for a full day of work. Yet, they survive.
This idea that people need a “living wage” is retarded. It’s literally the realm of slow thinkers. Expand out any of these ideas to logical conclusions and consider the critical flaws to them, and any thinking person will understand the disingenuous nature of this discussion.
Living wage means if you’re late Monday, leave early Thursday and miss Friday, the benefits from the government (because you’ve stayed under the limit) plus wages make a nice life. 27 x $15 > 40 x $7.65
