  6. Exactly. It's the rich telling the poor they make too much.

  7. Yep.

  8. But it can be made livable. The minimum wage is a policy choice, not a universal law of nature like gravity.

  23. Lol 44% of wage earners make $35k a year or less. 20% of jobs pay less than $8.50 an hour. I wish there was a fairy tail land where anyone could land a $35/hr job but that's the thing about fairy tales- they aren't real.

  24. Exactly. Sounds like good logic to me.
