funny, here i was thinking that a wage was the result of having a job.
luckily i have idiotic right wing bigots here to correct these misconceptions for me.

Why are you only going for minimum wage jobs to support yourself? Why do you morons insist on shooting for the lowest common denominator, and then whine about not getting more?

I tried to solve this question since I was 14.
I think it's a liberal gene or something.

Nugs and nutes... I had a massive newspaper route, minimum wage at the time paid 2.75, I could have got a job with less hours at the grocery store..... But, it only paid minimum wage!!
My my newspaper route, paid me 200 a week. With tips. $ 50 dollars more every week than what I could've got from the store.

That's great.
A Job.
People need to start working and building their way up the ladder.
You get paid for what you know or your skills or your passion for the job.
We need to stop looking for the govt or job agency for help.
Get off your ass and do something you are happy with.

that's the thing about life, there will always have to be someone there to do the jobs that need doing, however low they may be.
but i like how you went straight for the bootstrap misdirection rather than addressing the actual point of the thread.

being paid wages for doing a job is not a part of capitalism?
what the fuck is wrong with you?
UncleBuck

if that happens, does the first rung of the ladder somehow disappear?
and if it did, would the second rung of the ladder no longer be the bottom rung?
another bootstrap misdirection from another mindless blatherskite.

Damn Buck.
You should run for a democratic leader in your town with such a bullshit statement.
Let those poor illegal immigrants across the border to do the work the lazy Americans can't.
Thats bullshit.
People have to get back to work.

It is. But not getting paid wages is also part of capitalism.

what does your xenophobic bigotry against immigrants have to do with minimum wage?

I suppose they would disappear if you are too stupid to take a job from unemployment or the magic fairy.

I would think 'people that are not even citizens are getting the same wage as people paying taxes.'
Why is that fair to you?
UncleBuck

explain to me how the first rung of the ladder (a metaphor for the wage floor since you are too stupid to comprehend metaphors) can disappear, ever.
go on cowboy, use that big brain of yours.

actually, illegal immigrants are often exploited for lower wages in substandard working conditions due to their status.
i feel it is fair to pay any human willing to work a decent wage that they may live on.
why do you resent hard working, industrious folks just because they don't have a piece of paper?

Are you slightly retarded or something?
Not to make fun of you but wtf?
Sure they take shit jobs but they don't add to the tax base.
Some do work legally but the other 98% don't.
It hurts the people of America.
Why do you kiss their asses?

Well I've had enough of the whining from Uncle Buck.... Have fun all.
someone explain to me why I should give a flying shit about illegal aliens over Americans?
