Have Americans been educated yet to accept $7 an hour as a living wage?

[robert c]

We seem to be going that way.

A living wage is not something a politician can decide

The beauty of America is the sky is the limit

Unless a lib puts a cap on it and taxes it all to hell

Interesting question, in 1972 a Corvette was 5,200 bucks, a home about 40,000 bucks, if inflation can be held in check, the dollar will be worth more. The higher wages means products cost more.

When you learn a skill that is valuable to employers, you don't have to settle for minimum wage. If you want higher wages, you improve yourself, not wait on the government to come to your rescue.

 

[Incarcerated Bert]

The GOP keeps complaining the minimum wage is too high. I guess it could be worse.

The question you should be asking is:

Have Americans been fooled into believing that "would you like fries with that"? is a valuable enough skill to support a family...

 

[firewomen]

When you don't have a job and get offered one for $7 an hour you take it especially if you have filled out more application than you care to remember. Let me tell you I am not to proud to not work for 7 dollars an hour to pay rent and put food on the table, help to support my family.*

 

[Mr. 1911A]

Those who want more have the right to educate themselves and acquire the skills to EARN more.

Only libbies feel ENTITLED to more.

No, but Obama is working on it!

US Working Class will not peacefully accept to be buried under the ruins of this Capitalist bankruptcy!
