MY MINIMUM WAGE EMPLOYEE HAS EXPLAINED LIFE TO ME!!!!
My minimum wage employee pulled up to work a few weeks ago in a late model car that she had just bought, and I thought wow that vehicle is 8 years newer than my newest vehicle. Last night we got in a discussion about finances, and what I learned blew my mind. Keep in mind that I have been an American business owner of several business's through the last 37 years, worked my ass off, provided jobs for others, made money, lost money, and took a lot of risk. This employee is single, never married, has 3 children by 3 fathers, with a fourth on the way. She told me that she received a tax refund of over $6,000 after making about that much working for me. She is on all kinds of aid including food stamps, and has a man with a decent job that lives with her that pays the rent. This 23 year old girl is actually living at a higher level than I am, and I am the one taking all the risk. It appears to me that my American dream of working hard and being paid for your efforts is a sham. How can this go on, and not bankrupt this whole country?

Without the man and the Job, he probably earns 50k a year.
She would be fucked.
She knows shes simply doing prostitution, the man is probably stupid and doesn't realize he could get sex once or twice a week cheaper and probably better than that skank.

that's sexism to me
why should the females have all the breaks in Life?

wtf
We get the powers over us that we've earned collectively. Humanity, as a whole, is self-interested, shallow, ignorant, violent and immoral; small wonder, therefore, that our leaders (secret or otherwise) reflect that. You want better leaders, become better people.

FIRST OF ALL IT'S TEMPORARY. AS SOON AS TPTB HAVE THE MAJORITY IN THEIR POCKETS BY SUBSIDIZING THEIR ENTIRE LIVES- AND IT'S ALMOST A FAIT ACCOMPLI AT THIS POINT- THEY'LL CUT THE SPIGOT OFF.

THE DESIRE FOR FREEDOM IS A HARD THING TO KILL AND IT HAS TAKEN THEM A VERY LONG TIME TO DO IT IN THE US, BUT THEY'VE GOTTEN CLOSE TO COMPLETING THE TASK. ONCE THOSE WHO DESIRE FREEDOM (AND THAT'S PEOPLE WHO GO THEIR OWN WAY AND PRODUCE THEIR OWN FOOD AND ARE BEHOLDEN TO THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES RATHER THAN THE GOVERNMENT) ARE COMPLETELY MARGINALIZED, THEN THEY CAN BEGIN THE CULLING AND THEY WILL.

YOU HAVE TO NOT ONLY TAKE FROM THE PRODUCERS- THEY'VE BEEN DOING THAT VIA TAXATION AND INFLATION FOR OVER A CENTURY NOW- YOU HAVE TO MAKE THEM SAY 'FUCK THIS SHIT, I QUIT' BECAUSE IT'S SIMPLY UNTENABLE TO CONTINUE.

HANG IN THEIR, PARD. IT AIN'T OVER 'TIL IT'S OVER.

It's not fair is it mr dirt?

I'm single and I don't get food stamps, housing aide, whatever free insurance they are throwing at people today, child support, at all.

I make what I make. I spend what I make. I am in constant debt, but I take from NO ONE.

 Quoting: Dirtfarmer


That's what you get for paying minimum wage. If businesses divided their income with those who work for them instead of keeping most of the money at the top, entry level would not be able to qualify for benefits. Also, a minimum wage person has lower living expenses. It is perfectly plausible to see lots of nice cars parked at mobile home parks. Your employee is working at life just as hard as you buddy.

I guess I have always believed that people that have health problems, single mothers, etc. should be helped with my tax dollars.

Re: MY MINIMUM WAGE EMPLOYEE HAS EXPLAINED LIFE TO ME!!!!
Back in the early 80s I knew a man who ran the county welfare office where I lived. I saw him one night at the Holiday Inn as a waiter. I was confused.

I asked him about it a few days later and he told me the following.

A person received benefits in the form of cash. The get food stamps. They have medical insurance. They have help with heat and electric even if they still have a bill,it is a substantially reduced bill. They have their college paid for and a babysitter paid for. Their rent is assisted and substantially less. He tells me he makes about 34 dollars a month less than the average recipient in the county. So he had to take a second job.

He acknowledges that he has it better than his clients. He can spend his money how he wants etc. I had just never thought of it that way before.
