One of you says I should get a "real" job and now another one says I'm taking jobs away from teens and retired people.
Obviously, neither of you has the slightest clue.
===========
Its idiotic to say that fat food jobs are meant to be "entry level" or meant for "teenagers and retired people". Try as you might there is simply no excuse, no reason why tax payers should be forced to subsidize huge corporations.
Back to that "stupid obstacle" again.......
Both of those statements are telling you to get a better job.
And the fact that you are taking jobs from sixteen and sixty year olds should tell you something about your life and the direction it's going.
LOL
I started working at 13, was homeless at 16, am now 67, retired and very well off. Nonetheless, I now have a very profitable job, selling at Amazon and Ebay.
See?
Toldja you didn't have a clue.
Now, what about the topic?

That is my opinion. You can agree or not.
Republicans used to be smart people, but based on this thread, that's obviously a thing of the past.
Why are WE having to help major corporations to pay their employees? They make billions and billions, but they insist on paying their workforce as little as possible.
Of course, Republicans do NOT support minimum wage increases EVER, even though if minimum wagers were paid more fairly, they would save us billions in welfare, which these corporations WANT their employees to use, like in this example.

Exactly.First of all, let's define what a "living wage" would be? Should it be enough to raise a family of four on? Or should it be enough for a teen living at home to save some money for college, a first car or a burger and a movie on date night?
Fast-Food Chains Costing Taxpayers the Most Money - 24/7 Wall St.
....According to the National Employment Law Projects (NELP) newest report, because the fast-food industry pays its workers less than a living wage, U.S. taxpayers must foot the bill in the form of the public assistance programs these workers must use to get by. McDonalds alone, according to the group, cost taxpayers $1.2 billion last year. Based on NELPs estimates, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the annual costs of providing public assistance to low wage employees working at the seven largest publicly traded fast-food companies.
What this report shows, explained NELP policy analyst Jack Temple, is that whether or not you work in the fast-food industry or eat fast-food, the industry is costing you. The low wage business model that this industry is based on drains resources from the economy by forcing low-pay workers to rely on public assistance in order to make ends meet.

The list is on page two but its nothing we all don't already know.
What is truly sad about this is that if Americans stood together and refused to subsidize these companies, they would be paying a living wage over night. All it would take is a real boycott and welfare rolls would shrink.
Instead, my bet is that certain people will read this list and decide to frequent these companies more often. I believe the right hates this country so much, they will do whatever they can to cause more harm. That's what we've been seeing for a long time now and I don't see it ending any time soon.
And, its a double whammy because eating the shit these places serve directly contributes to the very diseases so many Americans fight every day.

I see that stupid video and a couple things come to my attention.
She worked there for 10 years. 10 years. She in all that time had no chance to apply for a higher position in the company? In that 10 years did she have absolutely no opportunity to use her experience to get another job? In that 10 years did she do anything to increase her skill level beyond cashier?
If her job was not paying her enough money for the past ten years then why does it look like she has had 2 children in that time?
My conclusions are she stayed there for 10 years without trying to get a better position or a better job elsewhere because she wanted to stay there.
And even though her job didn't pay her enough she chose to have 2 kids.
All the fault here lies with her no one else.

WTF does it matter whether she moved up the company or not?
Are you aware that it's mathematically impossible for EVERYONE to be the CEO?
The point is that we should NOT have to help multi-billion dollar profiteering corporations to help pay for their employees.
Right-wingers love corporations so much, apparently they think handing them charity to help pay for the workforce is okay?
Have you guys gone completely out of your minds?
An employee's personal expenditures, standard of living, life choices that lead to said standard of living, etc. are not the responsibility of a corporation.The point is that we should NOT have to help multi-billion dollar profiteering corporations to help pay for their employees.

And, its a double whammy because eating the shit these places serve directly contributes to the very diseases so many Americans fight every day.

The whole premise of this thread is BS.
These jobs are for teens,college students and retirees. And none of these people would have a need for gov assistance in most cases.
So it's actually the idiots trying to turn a starter job into to a career option that are causing the problem.
If you stop and think you'll realize it was never a problem in the past. Why now?

The problem today is good paying jobs are hard to find because the economy and other issues related to health care. The market is now full of these people now trying to make ends meet on jobs that the purpose was a stepping stone.
This country is in bad shape, however the government doesn't seem interested in fixing the issue.
