More people are working but at wages that still qualifies for food stamps. It is due to poor wages paid by our "job creators". They are making record profits but little trickles down to their employeesYou do understand that that has nothing to do with whether or not they are working, right?And 14 million more people, not fully counting illegals....
Seems you're short....
Care to play again......
14 million?
Where did you get that number?
A couple of days ago it was 350,000 per month to break even.........times 90 months, you're talking 31.5 million.....
I'm thinking that you don't have the slightest idea what you are yammering about....
Civilian Labor Force
sez that the labor force has grown by roughly 4.5 million since Feb 2009.....
The graph I posted related to food stamp use says there are still over 45 million leeches living off the taxpayers.
What I understand is you agree that unemployment has gone way down yet food stamp use is still what it is. If more people are working, logic dictates that less people are relying on handouts. That isn't the case.
If someone is getting paid at a wage equivalent to their job skills, it is trickling down at a level at which it should be trickling. Your argument is that someone offering skills worth a certain amount should get more just because. If your job skills are worth $8/hour and you get paid $8/hour, why should you get paid an amount higher than that?
What it boils down to is someone making a wage where they can't support themselves resulting in their use of social welfare is the employers part. In reality, if all they offer in the way of skills isn't worth enough to support themselves, the problem is with the one offering the skills not the one offering the equivalent pay for those skills.
