You’re right but the poor and uneducated come in multiple forms. Those that choose to be and those that have no choice. If we incentivize working in return for a living wage rather than staying home with the kids because child care costs more than you can make, and get an affordable education...

I agree with you. What I would like to know is how do we raise the standard of living? It is near impossible to stop reduce the cost of living. Wages have not kept pace with cost of living for many years in most cases. I think it would be great if we could live comfortably for $8-$10 an hour.

There are millions of people that can’t be concerned about the economy’s wealth, or being personally wealthy, because they are too busy worrying about feeding their kids and buying school supplies. Wealth is not a concern when you’re trying to survive.

you’re absolutely correct. Unfortunately we live in a world today that everybody has a genuine need for a cell phone, and a car, and appliances, clothes, the list could go on and on. Buying American made is probably preferable but unattainable for a huge portion of the population. That’s where...

Quite the contrary! I am a current business owner of a small business just as Luck speaks of. And we, in the last year sold another business that is still thriving today. Before that I grew up with my family owning multiple businesses, none of which ever went under. So the stereotype that you...

I’m sorry. I thought this was a thread about wages, not about Wal Mart. I was simply referring to Wal Mart and McDonalds because they were used in a previous post. I could care less where you shop or what you think of Wal Mart so I’m sorry rub salt in your Wal Mart wounds. But I guess if they...

You’re right many things about large corporations vs. small business is not apples to apples. But one thing that is apples to apples no matter the company are the employee wages. $15 spends the same for the employee earning it whether it comes from Wal Mart or from jack’s tire and muffler shop...

So you quit eating at McDonalds until they pay their employees more? But you talked about your “minimum wage employees”? What’s the difference there? Maybe you should lead by example instead of “cancel culture”. And you speak about Wal Mart, which just happens to be one of the few companies...

I also agree with a lot of those points. I do believe that there is a problem today with younger generations feeling like they should have a laborless job and start out at an elevated wage. It will be a big problem in years to come when all the plumbers and construction workers die off and...

There may be some truth to this, but I think it’s more about American front line workers making a living wage. I know for me, I get my blinders on and I expect that when I go to the Dollar General, or the Quick Trip, etc., I want to be checked out in a timely fashion. I expect those workers to...
