Do you believe Americans who work full time should earn a living wage?

[BDOGKush]

I believe a parent should be able to provide for at least two children working full time So if you have 4 children then both parents will need to work.If you have six children then you might need to get a second job and Ty that thang up

So should single males be paid less because they don't have dependents?

I'm just going to put it like this. With the cost of living today no one should make under 16.50 an hour for full time work.I didn't say if you had kids you should get paid more I study full time worker should be paid enough to support at least two kid. Whether you have them or not. If you don't have kids good for you more money to stay even more money to play with if you do have kids then it's good for you because you can actually feed your kids and have a more healthy relationship because money is not always stressing you out.

Idk I've always been a firm believer in the fact that you should have and or use only what you need

I think governing dynamics is where this convo needs to go for if it were possible it fixes most of the world problems the 1% is terrified of this notion because we would be trading service for service and then money is irreleveant...
And the tradesmen become the bankers

So you don't have any TVs? Or a car? Or a phone or the internet? Because you're talking to me on a computer right now. That is something that you don't need.

Alright, just making sure you're not one of these people claiming you should be paid more based on the size of your family.

You do realize that if every business owner was forced to pay all his/her employees 16.50 an hour as starting pay, you would lose a large amount of small businesses. Why do you hate small businesses ?

It is the dynamics, Industry no longer have laws or borders to govern them with global economy.
From the outside it looks as though China is running Capital Hill. Their middle class is fatting up.

Like i said There will always be gray areas. I've never work for a small business and most small businesses I know of are operated by family. I'm talking about these million dollar corporations where the boss goes home to his mansion while the employee live in a car in the parking lot.

You were willing to sacrifice and need for a want? That is impossible because without your needs you will die. if i walked or rode a bike to work i would have to leave my house hrs and hrs earlier. i live an hr drive from work

How much should a person make working the cash register at Walmart ? What about the person who just greets you and checks your bags on the way out ?

how much is one hour of your life worth?

that's how much you should pay them.

EMPLOYERS: IT'S NOT ABOUT SKILL!!!!!

you employ a living breathing person and whether it's his job to be a delivery person or comptroller of your company, each job assignment has a uniqueness unto it's own..the grass (skill) always looks greener (none required) until the CEO has to do it..wasn't that a reality series?

for example:

an accountant needs to be good with numbers, know how to prepare a financial statement, audit etc..a delivery driver must get his cargo where it needs to go, on time..in perfect condition..who has the harder job?..anyone care to debate this?

 

[schuylaar]

Amazing simply amazing , you can afford to pay $17 an hour when your & my income is 1/1000 th of Shitmart or McDonalds ,yet you preach utter collapse if those businesses pay that much .

You pay $17 an hour for a laundromat attendant & i pay $17 an hour to a self storage unit manager , both extremely low in skill level but somehow our unskilled labor force we are able to absorb & remain profitable but multi billion dollar corporations cant do what we do.

Why do you think corporations who have ceo's with 100 million dollar golden parachutes cant afford to pay the same wages us two schmucks pay ?

you guys keep saying this over and over..low skill blah, blah..it's not about skill..do you really know what it's all about? think about it!!!

why is the delivery man more important than the comptroller?

You need to stop picking on the "rich"

Speaking as a parent, why should other people pay for my decision to have kids?

If you don't earn enough, don't have kids.

If you don't earn enough, don't have kids. Just because the multi millionaires to own the company that I am qualified to work at dosent want to lose a little bit of money by actually paying their employees fair wages doesn't mean I should not have the enjoyment of having a child

Did you sign a contract with this employer, clearly stating rates of renumeration?

 

[superloud]

Yes but as has been stated By me and several other people in this post We take low paying job because that's what is available. I have people working right beside me with a business degree is making the same amount of money I'm making.My aunt graduated college last year She's a child therapist and make less money than I do. I know a guy that went to school to be a IT guy And he makes 10.75 an hour. It doesn't matter how much you want to argue with us the fact is The pay rates are not fair in this country. And the so-called cost of living raise I get push me nowhere Near making a cost of living wage

Depends on what I'm being paid to do. If its an hour of looking at porn, I might do it for free. If it's something like serving burgers then about 10-12
