Define a living wage. A person working fast food could be making a living if they have a spouse who makes a lot of money or has roommates. You lack intelligence for supporting these people. If they want a better life style then they have to work harder. I work a min. wage job but I also work 2 jobs on top of that and go to college. These people in this video are the extreme minority and need to just work harder and stop asking for handouts.

And 89% of those people are not poor. Their average household income is over $47,000/yr. They are not screwed, they are part time or unskilled employees.

You don't have to go to college to get better, but you can be creative or find ways to do fine. Like I said, get roommates, help from family or friends, pick a second job. It is getting harder to get a second part time job since the min. wage is going up, part time employee are now becoming a bad investment. Problem with employers paying is that the cost comes to us eventually but employers will cut hours and wages before raising prices.

You have never ran a business before. You have never worked before either. I make $15/hr and I have two college degrees. If fast food paid that much then only people qualified for the job would be individuals with college degrees or a skill. Businesses also can't pay $15/hr because they simply can't afford too. Ignorance is hurting this country.

89% of individuals who make $9.50/hr are above the poverty level and live in a household that on average makes over $47,000/yr. That is because they are supplemental form of income in a household and are not the main earner. They are a high school kid or have a spouse who have a better paying job. This is fact, this woman has no clue what she is talking about.
