[/quote] While that's kinda true, but you're missing the point. You know as well as I do that they have just as many over-paid staff as they do under. The same could be said for the CEOs and other board members..they aren't really worth that kinda money. Regardless, the problem is the fact that people continue to work there and don't go somewhere else. As long as people fill those positions, they aren't going to change anything. People have to set an example and not work there instead of just bitching about it. If the position was made unattractive, they would increase the wage until it garners attraction...simple as that. [/quote] That's the point...I guarantee those who are unsatisfied with their pay have looked around and were not offered any more money because they are at the top of their pay scale already, therefore if they want to EARN more money then they need to offer something over their competition, like learning or improving on a skill. [/quote] Quite possible. I think the biggest problem is people nowadays try to live above and beyond their means. They get themselves a 15k-20k salary job and then purchase the highest priced house a loan officer will give them. They purchase the highest priced car they can qualify for or they think they need two of them. They have all kinds of 'unnecessary' features on their cell phone, cable and internet bills. In other words, they try to live like kings and bitch when they can't. I know this isn't everyone of them. But, I've seen enough people like this to know it's really common. If you get paid cheap...you gotta live cheap..if you screw up..there's little room for error, and you're gonna be going to a food bank or whatever to make up the difference. [/quote] I'm a financial counselor, and you are exactly right...the problem in most cases is not low pay, it's overspending and borrowing... [/quote] Why do they borrow? Because they don't make enough to buy it out right or they need those extra groceries and don't get another check for a while You are reading someone who has been on both ends of the wealth spectrum. I have made minimum wage and make 90,000 a year You can't lump all into a generalized formula either Just because a person is considered poor does not mean they don't have the ability to learn wise money tasking William Buffet was poor at one time by the standards of this world [/quote] I have to generalize because going case by case would take forever and be a breech of confidentiality...do all black people steal? I have to go with generalizations then... Most people borrow money because they are selfish...they justify it with reasons for needing it, whatever "it" is...a new car, a house...we just had a kid now we need a new van... I don't know who William Buffet is, but Warren started with $100 and invested wisely, didn't do poor people things with money like buy lotto tickets, and made himself a multibillionaire...now he feels guilty in his old age and has turned liberal :( [/quote]

Instead of paying a decent wage so that their employees can eat and support their families,this hospital has asked their employees to donate canned good donations for the lower paid staff.Tell me this aint fucked up.Read this...you'll be amazed
