Do you really think they're hard workers?
Minimum wage in mathematical terms

I'm sure a lot of minimum wage workers are lazy, but is it right to generalize the entire minimum wage working force based on the worst workers in the force, especially considering the implications?
If someone works 40 hours a week, they should be able to support themselves and pay for basic needs, lazy or not. If they're a lazy worker, employers have every right to replace them.

as i recall, you are quite fond of bragging about how lazy you are and how little you have to work.
i suppose your nobel prize winning colleagues must have very tidy BMs.

So why bother working for something better, is that it?

You would still make some money. Oh, wait, you meant 'What would be the point of taking a full time job if you can get someone else to support you".

that was actually the opposite of the point he was making, you bitter old crank.
the point of having full time work is to support yourself. so if you work full time but still have to rely on public assistance, that should leave you wondering what's wrong.
but of course you wouldn't get it.

The 99%'s fault. He didn't build that.

What would be the point of taking a full time job if you can't support yourself with it?
That's the question that I asked.
Would you take a full time job if it didn't pay you enough to pay for your food, rent, and clothes? If not, why would you expect anyone else to?

I don't need to. If someone won't help themselves, let'em starve.

That's not what I asked. I'd appreciate it if you would answer the questions I ask instead of questions I'm not asking you, I think that would probably propel the conversation forward instead of reverting back each time..
So again, would you take a full time job (40+ hours/week) if it didn't pay you enough to pay for your food, rent, and clothes? And if you wouldn't, why would you expect anyone else to?

Shit dude, I already have. But I'm beyond that now. That's why I don't have to. That's also why I expect them to.

Some do; Microsoft, AT&T, Sprint, Sears, Kraft, GE, etc..
Why shouldn't multibillion dollar, multinational institutions pay their employees a wage that will ensure they don't require government assistance to support themselves? Why should I have to pay for full time employees living expenses because their employer is too cheap to do it themselves? I believe it's more American, let alone more fair to the American public, for said employer to pay the employee a sustainable working wage and not rely on the government (my and your tax dollars) to fill that void. Forgive me for encroaching on your MULTIBILLION dollar profits, I am so greedy!, you employ them, YOU pay for them. Not me. Not us. YOU. It's not my responsibility as a tax paying American citizen to ensure YOUR workers barely make it above the poverty line because YOU'RE too cheap to pay for their basic needs.
Does that paint a clear enough picture for you, King?

I didn't ask you if you already have.
I didn't ask you if you're beyond that.
So again, for the third time I ask the exact same question;
Would you take a full time job (40+ hours/week) if it didn't pay you enough to pay for your food, rent, and clothes? If you wouldn't, why would you expect someone else to?

Because you consistently vote for and demand government entitlement programs?
