You mean, like a worker works full time at McDonald's, then part time at Burger King? Depending for a living on the kinds of jobs that were once part time employment for students?

You mean, like where a worker decides to make a career of an entry level job that for many would be a stepping stone, because he or she doesn't have the incentive to work a little beyond the basic job description or regular hours, learn as much as possible about the overall operation and expand his or her sk**ls?

You mean, employers aren't subscribing to the ages-old rules of the marketplace and compensating employees according to their respective asset value?

I know quite a few workers who have benefitted from the tax cuts and several employers (people I know who run businesses) who have increased wages and benefits while expanding their businesses.

Point being, it's an employee's job to demonstrate that he or she is worth more money, and it's a worker's job to do wh**ever he or she needs to do to acquire needed sk**ls.

Positions that traditionally pay the minimum wage were never meant to support families and individuals. They were meant, as I said, for students and others to earn extra spending money or to be used as stepping stones.

Life is like that.

This nation was built and made great by those driven to excel and improve themselves, not by the complacent.

And like I said, certain jobs weren't meant to be anything more than stepping stones to acquired sk**ls and more responsible, better paying jobs.

If someone chooses to make a career doing something any moron could do and isn't willing to upgrade his or her sk**l level or knowledge base to better his or her lot, "that's," as they say, "the way it goes."

You l*****ts all apparently believe that a business is a charitable enterprise that's only there to have its profits gobbled up by taxes and unambitious employees.

Easy enough, I suppose, when it's other people's money.

Once again, facts? And you use the word "your" incorrectly. Are you "Socialist", or "Liberal"? Economic Despotism, possibly the characteristic of George Soros or The Rothschildes, is a horrible practice. But you haven't shown how the "Top 1 percent" are "hurting" others by 1. buying stock and investing in new businesses, 2. providing employment for people looking for a job, and 3. supporting an economy that is driving the Chinese Commuconomy into the dirt.
these people and corporations didn't get where they are by stealing from destitute inner-city poor. They did it largely by WORKING at low pay jobs, getting disgusted with where they were, and "moving out" to do better for themselves. Just ask Shaquille O'Neall, Bill Gates, J.P Morgan and millions of other "1-Percenters". If YOU start up a business and hire workers at a starting wage, pay them based on their merit and on time, have you committed a business sin? Please enlighten.
