A majority of Americans make less than $20 per hour

[DEAD7]

a barber can make 20 bucks an hour, damn

I remember when I use to think 100,000k a year was a lot

but you have to realize your living habits dictate how much struggle

This is why Americans are opposed to an honest discussion regarding an increase in wages.

Given your staunch defense of the wealthy, I thought you were ballin' . And when you said you put in 60-70 hours per week, I thought you were at six figures

Just surprised at the seeming mismatch between salary and hours breh (if you own a business then it is understandable, entrepreneurs often skimp on salary for as long as they can to grow the business).

Oh no, I don't own a business(yet), my bad, I was just defending business owners.


edit: and "the wealthy" is a misleading term in and of itself.

Looks like a majority of Americans make enough money to take care of themselves... and no one else.

[Serious]

what should we do about it?

Raise the minimum wage

 

[Serious]

between 45-48k a year

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

Raise the minimum wage

so force companies to pay more than people are worth?
What's the incentive to be a hard worker than? Shouldn't an intelligent society promote hard work and a good education?
Isn't that the instinctive nature of parenthood? The instinctive nature of parenthood can't be wrong can it?

the majority of Americans make enough money that you could dump them in a mass grave and no one would miss them. what is your point?

 

[DEAD7]

Raise the minimum wage

We have been over this... only like 5% of the workforce makes min wage, looking at it as any type of solution is silly. Its just an easy way to score political points.
if we're serious we need to focus on allowing the market to become an employees market.

Didn't you get the memo? The Coli is the 1% of the 1%, get your money & certs up broke negro is our slogan.
