The smell of pomposity and the stench of arrogance permeates your post.
There, but for the grace of God go I.
I encourage you to ponder the Biblical exhortation of "False pride goeth before a fall.
Assume not that tomorrow might find you in circumtstances worse.
Flame away if you wish, I do not care.
I thought his post was pretty truthful. The fact is, not everybody can have a house and 2 cars. The attempt to make it so is called Socialism. And that leads to NOBODY having a house and 2 cars.
Capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
Worse than what, being employed?
There is no shame in any job and WalMart is work.
Doesn't mean WalMart has to pay people more than they are worth to them.
If they WERE worth more, they could offer their services in the market and get the value they deserve.
It is my opinion though that the ones complaining about WalMart's wage would find they are worth LESS outside of WalMart. Why else stay at such a company when it so offends their rarefied air?
Also, who the heck says ANYONE has a right to prosperity based on living alone or trying to raise several illegitimate children?
You have the right to pursue happiness in this country, you are NOT guaranteed it.
Up until a couple of generations ago, most people lived in apartments at one time or another and many only rented their whole life never being able to earn their own home.
It is not unusual to have people with low wages living within their means.
If they rent with three other people, share expenses, they can afford life and a decent used car with insurance.
Maybe they can learn more skills to be worth more than what they are paid at WalMart.
My statement wasn't about the job, it was about their unrealistic expectations in life and trying to blame WalMart. That is utter stupidity and the greed of union thugs trying to convince the workers that it is their boss and not them that are the problem.
If they were worth a nickle more, they could get it in the market. As I said, they would mostly probably find they are worth far less than what WalMart charitably pays them.
A CA GUY is absolutely correct in his assement, regardless of your sanctimonious injunction. Add me to the list of people you do not approve of.
I don't know how I'm going to pay my bills and eat this month, and even I think you're FOS.
