Half of fast food workers need public aid

Why should the government have to help them out at all?

#1 - it is the function of government to do so.

#2 - it's government that made the existing problem worst with the changes made to the structure of the US economy over the past 3-4 decades. policy shapes the markets, which is why there's no such thing as "free markets" in reality. the financialization of the US economy is a direct attack on labor and labor wages, as was the changes in the federal tax code that now makes overall taxes only slightly progressive, and it was the state that directly attacked labor unions in the 80's starring with the PATCO strike.
 
Fast food was never meant to be a career. It is not a job to support a family on. I'm not sure where the misconception for these people comes from. There is no reason they can't go out and get a better paying job that requires no education. If they are not happy about the wages then they are in the wrong field of work!

Right, they are flipping burgers because they don't want a better job. Wait, what the fuck? Where are these better jobs. I live in the heart of downtown Atlanta, and there are tens of thousands of people who hate their job, hate being on food stamps, and pretty much hate their life. But, they are in the situation because you think they just picked the wrong job?

Maybe we should go notify them to apply for better paying jobs, or wait again, they already fucking have! I'm not saying everyone deserves a good paying job, because "deserves" isn't a word that applies. Life isn't fair. But, to insinuate that people work shitty low paying jobs because they don't want a better paying job is a fucking ignorant and asshole thing to say.
 
I'm sure it has something to do with economics 101!!! LOL

yep he's a phony whom can't answer a simple question. it's too much for his brain to handle and generate a responce. maybe he can google it and copy and paste an answer for us. lmao!
 
my son got a crispy chicken ranch today just before we went to get groceries. the woman that waited on us was late 40s maybe early 50's there was a big guy maybe early 30s and a couple women in their mid to late 20's and a big woman mid 30s in the front area of the mcdonalds we stopped at. people are full of shit that it's just teens in these jobs. fuck anyone that supports giving our manufacturing jobs to other countries then keeping the wages low on the leftovers people have to grapple for.

I think LAM's intelligence and education in economics, finance and politics is above most of your heads, which is why no one can ever debate him, he makes everyone look like a fool.

maybe take that up with Prince. and ask him how to spell reponse while you're at it. you're one of the worst spellers on IM and always bragging how educated you are. pfffft. your "ho ho ha ha" doesn't make you look any smarter. :coffee:
 
That doesn't make it the rule^^^ where I live it is the exact opposite, kids doing kid jobs. I agree 100% with you on American jobs being shipped out though, 100%!

it should be kids working there and was in towns that were booming.... coming soon to a town near you.
 
why won't you answer my question?

again, how much per hour is a livable wage for a fast food worker?

because you are on ignore and I can't see you posts normally.

the data collected by the ILO across the OECD and other country's shows the US minimum wage is around 38-40% of the median. many other wealthy industrialized country's are closer to 60% and higher.

It's all in the Global Wage Reports that I've posted dozens of times.

I want to know what YOU think it should be not what other countries are. can't you think for yourself? so what do YOU think it should be?? 60%? over 60%.???
 
i double dog dare you to start a thread arguing with Prince about who is smarter you or LAM. :coffee:
 
nope, not where I live dear, lol.

where might that be? just saying too many towns here that depended on one manufacturing giant or another have gone belly up and a lot of others are hurting. it's sadly, not uncommon to see adults take jobs kids traditionally held.
 
I think we should pay minimum wage to people with specialized skills and give full salaries with benefits and pensions to burger flippers and ditch diggers :coffee:

you sound like a little child. it's hilarious! keep it coming.

i was responding to your maturity level in attacking my kids. speaking your own language so to speak.

you look like an idiot attacking LAM and i'm pretty sure informing you of the spectacle you make of yourself when you do was the intent of Prince's post...

I asked lam a question, that's an attack? lol you're a strange old lady. I bet you own a lot of cats?
 
i'd make our education system second to none and make sure everyone had a good job to go to. put an end to the nonsense that got us here to begin with. obviously i'd have to be king to accomplish jack shit with the buffoons we have in congress mucking shit up.

we all would at least those of use that are forward thinking. the problem is that a consumption based economy doesn't need thinkers, it needs people to buy shit that they don't really need but think they do. besides the Internet nothing else has really changed our lives that much in the past 40 years, just lots of little gadgets.

the US education system "free education" began with the industrial revolution. the "owners" of the capital class new that the workers needed to have enough education to learn how to work in the factories and repair them, etc. now they have all been sent away and we see the "free" education system for the workers being dumbed down.

how would you reform the education system? privatize it?
 
i would take a large chunk of what now goes to the military and put it toward education. i would take the money wasted in the war on pot and put it toward education. i would take the money wasted building fancy ass prisons and put it toward education. i would invest in America rather than give billions to Africa etc. i would stop tax breaks for the rich and corporate welfare and put it toward education. i would tax churches and put it toward education. schools, books, music programs, arts, science labs... everything needed to feed and excite young minds would be provided.

def would not privatize.

establish that taxpayers are owed the finest education possible for every child that comes through the doors of an American school. hire teachers based on performance as well as ability to engage the children. have a very real focus on preparedness to thrive in our economy while making schools less miserable to attend. not allow the teaching of any brainwashing bullshit.

we say we are the greatest country in the world... why can't our schools be something that shows we are? why should we not invest in our kids like we believe they can be the brightest minds of tomorrow? we fail them miserably in that regard. kids have textbooks that are 20 fucking years old here. they graduate without being able to spell or do what used to be 8th grade algebra.

what would you do?
