What if your employer decides your skills are worth $.05/day? I hear you already "I'll get another employer", OK, and that guy agrees, yep, your skills are worth about $.05/day, so that's what you get. See where this is going...? What's stopping employers from devaluing your skills and paying you peanuts?

That sounds a lot more reasonable

I agree, but there's this unsubstantiated claim among apologists for the republican party that poor people are lazy, so that's why they're poor.. Sure, there are lazy poor people, but the vast majority of people who are poor are not fuckin' lazy. People with 2, sometimes 3 jobs just to make rent are not lazy.

Yeah, man, that's fucked up. $600/week wouldn't be that bad if the cost of living wasn't so high. Someone making ~$30K a year shouldn't be living paycheck to paycheck, and our gov. says the poverty line is fuckin' $11,770 for individuals.

So let me ask you, how do you think your lifestyle would change if instead of $600/week you were paid $245/week?

see, there's the problem.

you are not anywhere close to a millionaire, so when i say that i make more than you, it simply means i am not getting paid a shitty wage to do shitty work.

but if you want to see a sample of some of the wealth i married into, i will be happy to post some pics of the half a million dollar wedding i just attended on long island. it was a black tie only affair. tuxedos and gowns. 17 piece band. a dozen hors d'ouevres stations. all the free 30 year aged scotch you could shake your dick at. all at a country club where you need a quarter million annually to even be a member.
