I'll gladly answer your ridiculous question. Yes, I. could live on $10 an hour if it were just me. No Wife, no kids, no nothing. When I entered the workforce, I made $.80 per hour. I was 14. When I retired from my SECOND career, I was making $97,000 per year and my Wife was/is making $114,00 per year.
Sit on your ass and wait for IT to come to YOU. You'll spend an eternity waiting. Either make it happen for yourself, or wallow in self-pity. The choice is yours - but don't sit on your ass blaming those who busted their humps 7 days a week building a business for themselves and their families. It's unbecoming.
It isn't YOUR money. Want to command a higher wage? Then work hard, educate yourself, and you'll move up commensurate with your effort.Tell me do you think it's fair that the minimum wage is not even $10 based on the amount of wealth that is being hoarded? Could you live on $400 a week?
You righty tighties are so out of touch with how the left thinks. My job has nothing to do with this asshole. I am not complaining about me. I am complaining about wages in general. The average age of a low level fast food worker is 29. Is that a good thing or a bad thing considering the record profits corporate America is making?
It goes for ANYONE. What about that don't YOU understand? Oh, and if you can't afford KIDS? Don't have them until you can.You people are so dumb. I just said I wasn't talking about my own situation.
I'll ask you T. Can you live on $10 an hour? Kids or not?
You still haven't answered my question. Could you live on 10 an hour? Also, yes I agree one shouldn't have kids without having a good job. However, it still happens. Should those kids be punished for their parents mistakes? How about parents who already have kids who get laid off and are forced into a lower wage job. What is your solution for that? Many single parents can't afford to raise their kids despite having a full time job.
Hey guess what? If wages were higher, we would have less people on food stamps.

Wouldn't the 500000 you just cost them their job need Government assistance?

But stimulation of economic demand from a higher wage would CREATE jobs.
I could live just fine off of $400 a week. How come you can't? And why are you owed a minimum wage by anyone? But most important of all....why don't you create your own job instead of attaching yourself to someone else's achievements and making demands?Tell me do you think it's fair that the minimum wage is not even $10 based on the amount of wealth that is being hoarded?

Jake, you write I am wrong and then do nothing to show that.
/Fail.
The post above perfectly shows your error, which is the normal for your posting.
No, Jake. The post does nothing of the kind. The challenge was whether Madison had written what was attributed to him in the opening post. You failed. The OP failed. Madison never wrote those words.
Will you acknowledge the truth of this or continue to lie?

It's all here.
In black and white. English too.

What part of that don't you understand?
You couldn't pay off a house and cars and live debt free after all this time? Wages will be low until when and if the economy improves. Artificially raising wages won't work.No you could not live on $400 a week if you were entirely self supporting.
If you think you could be self supporting on $400 a week, amigo, you are seriously out of touch with reality.
I also started working at $.85 an hour back in '64.
I actually know what that kind of dough purchased back then.
Back then you could rent a house for $60 a month, cheap (heated!)apartments could be had for $40 a month.
Its not about numbers, its about what those numbers can buy, sport.
MW has lost more than half its purchasing power since you and I were kids.
Wouldn't the 500000 you just cost them their job need Government assistance?
But stimulation of economic demand from a higher wage would CREATE jobs.
That is not what the report says, it specifically says it will cost 500000 jobs and improve conditions for others. It does not claim new jobs will suddenly appear.

Or are you afraid of what employees might cost you?
Pointing a gun at someones head and say either sign the contract for minimum wage or starve is HARDLY fair...hey we resort to whatever it takes to get what's ours...get used to it.
Whose pointing a gun at your head? If that employer wasn't providing the job, then your options would be zero. Employers don't force you to work. Mother nature does.
Nope. I don't believe 6 members of the Walton Family should be worth more than 40% of the US population. CEO's should NOT be making millions where there are workers of their companies on welfare to feed themselves and their families.
I doubt your figures are correct. However, so what if they are? If those people don't want the job, then they can find a job somewhere else. The Waltons aren't just the CEOs. They're the owners. Their wealth comes from owning the stock in the company. They made the company what it is. Every dollar they have was obtained through voluntary exchange. Who are you to say they aren't entitled to every last one of them?

It isn't YOUR money. Don't like what you're being paid? Go elsewhere to where it better suits you. Take the wealth envy crap and take a hike.Pointing a gun at someones head and say either sign the contract for minimum wage or starve is HARDLY fair...hey we resort to whatever it takes to get what's ours...get used to it.
What are you? One of those numbskulls that believe companies exist just to give people jobs with NO profit motive? Ain't the way the world works or human nature son. YOU are just a THUG.

We get it. YOU ALL hate the poor and those that are actually busting their ass to make crap for others to get rich off of. I just got this to say. YOU are on the losing end!It isn't YOUR money. Want to command a higher wage? Then work hard, educate yourself, and you'll move up commensurate with your effort.Well then, get off your ass and go make more money. No one is stopping you.Jesus - all you lefties want something handed to you......try EARNING IT!

...wealth inequality.
"The day will come when our Republic will be an impossibility because wealth will be concentrated in the hands of a few. When that day comes, we must rely upon the wisdom of the best elements in the country to readjust the laws of the nation."
- James Madison
FACT: the top 1% of earners own 40% of the nation's wealth. The bottom 80% of earners own 7% of the nation's wealth.
A few things can be taken away from the above information.
The founding fathers wouldn't even have lunch with someone from the rightwing teabaggers or republicans in general for that matter. They obviously believed in government intervention where today's republicans are very much against. Truth be told the framers were the equivalent of modern day liberals.
Republicanism is one giant political lie.
