  1. I don't understand. Doesn't the government know employees are kept part-time to avoid benefits? Why not mandate benefits for all employees regardless of hours?

  2.  @SG-js2qn  oh ok. I haven't been there....ever... Lol. McDonald's is cheaper.

  5. 34k is pennies compared to wage stagnation(these people would've been well-paid factory workers in the past) and inflation(100k adjusted for inflation is $2.1 million).

  6. Because people are concerned about the level of income inequality. About the gap between the rich and the poor. I doubt comparisons will mention corporate profits. Places like Chic Fil A make enough to pay their cashiers $100,000/yr.

  7.  @waltergoring8428  I agree with you. $150 billion is such a huge number......

  8.  @waltergoring8428  23 million is still unreasonable if any of his workers require food stamps.

  9.  @wolfereignowns1154  no idiot thinks that. People are upset over the level of income inequality, not income inequality itself.

  13.  @UniqueBreakfastTaco  but why not though? Why is that unbelievable?

  14.  @UniqueBreakfastTaco  it's not about what something is meant to be, it's about what it is. Tell me, do you believe women deserve to vote?

  15.  @UniqueBreakfastTaco  it requires no skill to be a journalist or actor but you nor society in general Treats them with disdain. The highest paid journalists make more than doctors, but nobody complains about that. But they'll complain about 34k being "too much."

  16.  @UniqueBreakfastTaco  you still don't need to go to school to do either.

  17.  @UniqueBreakfastTaco  because I don't understand you nor America. Poverty is like women's suffrage, a policy choice, not universal law nature like gravity. If we truly thought poverty was terrible we would do anything in fighting against poverty. We did this for women and voting. We changed society to accommodate women. But we have a fundamental belief that women deserve autonomy so we are tolerating these consequences. We are not willing to tolerate the consequences for ending poverty, therefore we do not truly believe in ending poverty. We designed America to deny women voting and changed because we deemed it unacceptable. We treated women like second class citizens and changed. We treat poor/unskilled workers like second class citizens but do NOT change... But we can if we truly wanted to because we changed for women.

  18.  @UniqueBreakfastTaco  I don't recall saying that... I'm saying there's no reason the wage floor has to be poverty level.

  19. That are also low paying.....

  20.  @UniqueBreakfastTaco  still low paying.

  21.  @UniqueBreakfastTaco  if there were enough high paying jobs to go around, then nobody would be poor.

  22.  @UniqueBreakfastTaco  I'm aware. But that's a separate issue from what I'm saying. I'm saying the wage floor does not be literally below poverty level.

  23. That's...depressing. 18k.... After taxes it's probably like 12k. That's more than college tuition itself.

  24.  @koshintokoshinto  that's messed up as well. If cashiers actually made $50k a year though I'd be happy for them.
