Tell you what. I'll agree to a "livable" minimum wage if it matches the following:

- It must be based on a minimum 70 hour work week. You don't want to go to college, you gotta work HARD my friend.
- If you work the minimum of 70 hours, even over 2+ jobs, then you can dip into a public insurance fund
- You don't make overtime. Overtime funds instead are paid into the public insurance fund.

I'm sure I could come up with lots more restrictions

Good idea, but you quickly forget, in the land of the rich people shouldn't have to work.

If the greatest generation thought like the newest one.....the middle class in America would have never thrived.

God bless those from the past who had the courage to unite and do what was right and stand up to corporate greed.

Sometimes the corporate ass licking of today's generation just makes my stomach turn.

Just like the "Entitlement mentality" turns mine. Hopefully someday(soon) people will once again stand up for their own responsibility.

Hate to break it to you, but the "greatest generation" created (and some still run) today's corporations. The baby boomers are running the rest of them not run by the old foges.

Gen-X and Gen-whatevertheyarecallingthe18-28 crowd are just now breaking into the middle/upper management. We'll see what they bring when the baby boomers let go.

I'm not my brother's keeper. I got mine. Of course there are millions more capable than Caddy lying in the dirt.

Go to europe. They have progressive societies there.

Actually I'm more of an Asia fan.

N. Korea is the ultimate example of what you get when you take your left-wing ideas all the way.
And I hear they are doing really well.

as if we did not know already.

Unemployment figures may look good, but I bet people gettig jobs are realizing it is at a pay level no where near what they used to make.

The Government is shipping the jobs overseas too.

Probably won't long before the Capitol is moved to Bangalore.

In Washington, for example, the state's Health Care Authority recently awarded a $3 million job to contractor Health Access, which outsourced computer-programming jobs to India.

The HCA needed to upgrade a computer system used to track participant's in the state's insurance program. It wanted $5.4 million to get the job done but state lawmakers granted a budget of $3.6 million for the task, said agency spokesman Dave Wasser.

"They were the lowest bidder that met all the criteria," Wasser said. "Going overseas was part of what got them the bid lower."
