    I’m so sick and tired of people ragging on people demanding a living wage. Most of Walmarts employees qualify for food stamps. I worked for a city where the wages were so low that a third of their employees could qualify for food stamps. We can either pay these people a living wage or continue to subsidize these low paying organizations employees with our TAX DOLLARS through Government programs like FOOD STAMPS. I’ve heard all the arguments , get a better education and get a better job. FINE, we finally reach a point where everyone has a Phd ,then whose going to cook your fries, dig the ditches for your Utilities, and build your roads etc, etc, etc. A society has to have people of all educational levels and experience to function properly and they deserve a FRIGGIN LIVING WAGE TO DO THESE ESSENTIAL JOBS !

    so you would recommend abortion in these situations if they get pregnant and can not afford another child?

    I am sick of people whining about how great the poor have it, get over it.... if you think it's so great, sell everything you own and be poor, it's easy, no reason to be jealous of them.. heck even the bible says the poor will have a easier time getting in to heaven then the rich, that must really Tea off the right.....

    If the poor have it so easy why aren't more true patriots aspiring to give away all their money and possessions and living the life of Reilly?

    I am so sick an tires of hearing whinny libs and entitlement bums complain that McD's workers need $15 an hour.


    Utter nonsense . . . no one flingin' burgers into a bag deserves any more than $9.00 per hour. They NEVER get the order right anyway.

    I would have looked like an ignoramus putting in an air conditioning condensor in place of a customers water heater. It is called being inept which is displaying a lack of judgment, sense, or reason. Bungling or clumsy, foolish or incompetent.

    THAT is why the workers there deserve nothing more. Once McD's starts some kind of training program whereas workers start showing me that I do not have to check a 4-item order at the drive through window, then I may change my mind.

    Some of you entitlement crowd that posted here seem to think these Inspector Clouseau types deserve their wages to be doubled!

    Increasing minimum wage, is another one of those ideas that look good on paper but fail in practice the result of this will be that fifteen dollars an hour will, in a very brief period of time buy you what nine dollars an hour used to. and you'll have to be making between 30 and 45 dollars an hour to get by.

    People who want to protect me from myself - those who feel my safety is of public concern and seek to better me without my consent.

    That's Australian politics in a nutshell unfortunately: public health.

    . . . our politicians Left or Right promising us the moon in order to get elected and then after taking office turning out to be just as corrupt and incompetent or venal as was his or her predecessor . . . . oh and over the counter allergy and pain 'medications' being sold in such weak doses and number that when you have to double up the doses in order for them to be effective at all you are out of the over-priced and under-performing stuff much sooner than you should have been.

    Somehow it seems to me that the first complaint is related to the second one on a metaphysical level perhaps. So give me a higher dosage of integrity per politician and also double the volume of quality traits in general!

    There, I said it, and I shan't be taking any of it back . . . :icon_jawdrop:

    I'm sick and tired of conservatives who want to control what people do in the bedroom, what people say, where their taxes go, who they pray to, what they can do with their bodies, what they can smoke, all the while claiming that liberals are fascists.

    I'm sick and tired of nervous nellies carrying their guns everywhere.

    I'm sick and tired of people saying they suffer tyranny because they get a parking ticket.

    I'm sick and tired of conservatives lying... never providing evidence and the few times they do, it's from some place like the Heritage Foundation or the Cato institute.

    I'm sick and tired of ignorance and people who fear science.

    I'm sick and tired of people who deny or fear reality and need to lie to themselves and to others because their fantasy world is far more comfortable than reality.

    I'm sick and tired of hearing that the poor and racial minorities have no problems and have no right to complain.

    I'm sick and tired of poor people being duped into protecting rich people, while rich people mock, ridicule and exploit them.

    I'm sick and tired of selfish, immature and unbalanced people who try to destroy society because they don't fit in.

    I'm sick and tired of people and groups co-opting the Constitution.

    I'm sick and tired of lying politicians, and money in politics.

    Edit: I guess that's more than one thing...

    I've read and re-read your complaint a few times now, and frankly it just doesn't make any sense to me.
    "Whiney little crybabies" (identifies the group you're upset with), "who think they can raise a family of four on fast food wages" (Yeah, so?, why should that upset you?) I interpret them as being rather positive. For whatever reason, they're stuck at the bottom of the income ladder, but they think that they can survive OK. ( this boils your oil?) Then you insert the Wah-Wah bit. Followed by 'I should get more money'. Well hell, we all want more money, but there's nothing in your first sentence that indicates that they feel anything but accepting of their 'situation'. Does that part boil your oil? Then, Boo Hoo poor me. Well, I just don't get what's boiling that oil of yours.

    If your only option is to raise a family of four on fast food rages the problem isn't the wage the problem is with you
    go out get an education and or skill and why in the hell do you create a family of four without an education and or a skill if you cant support them?

    So that what's poisoning your existance? Poor people who make the society go round doing the jobs that nobody want to do and asking for a better wealth distribution? You sure you can't find nothing else?

    :roll:

    Me, I'd rather be pissed about these mediocre rich "elites" who got their parasitic job via cronyism, store their money in an off-shore account, corrupt the democratic process and as a rule are never satisfied with having way too much money for their greedy selves for all the wrongs they do. You want to know where is all that damn money? Look in their direction and no further.

    Entry-level jobs are not meant to support a family of four. The value of labor is determined by the market and as a function of the COGS of the finished good or service to which the laborer contributes. You want to make more money? Make yourself more valuable. Otherwise shut up and make sure I don't get onions on my cheeseburger when I say "no onions, please." Or in California, "no cebolla, por favor."

    I would recommend they not get pregnant if they "can not afford another child."

    I imagine it sucks being poor.

    Actually, it doesn't even look good on paper.

    if both parents work 40 hours at 8$ hour, that's 32000. If even one gets a second job making 8/hour, that's up to 16000 more and 48,000 total a year more and kids could still be taken care of by the 1st parent.


    a family of 4 can survive on 32-45k a year.

    Ah, yes, the nanny state! Paternalistic big government that says "we know what's best for you." Hey, maybe *I* know what's best for me!

    Yet we keep voting for these slobs, don't we? We get the government we deserve!

    I agree. But I hasten to add that's a two-way street.

    .

    Better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it. I hope you never find yourself in that situation.

    I haven't heard this one... does it happen a lot?

    Differs from liberals citing Moveon.org and DailyKos?

    Agree completely. Up to the point where science becomes religion.

    Not sure what you mean by that, but I think I sort of agree.

    Who is saying this?

    Not sure I understand.

    Can you give examples?

    You're preaching to the choir here brother!

    Absolutely. Throw the bums out! But I hasten to add we get the government we deserve.

    Indeed. Heh heh.

    Flip my burger and flip it well. Or go to college... or trade school... just stop (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)ing because I'm sick of it.

    noone is saying gays can't have sex
    I wonder who would get upset if a person tweets that gays shouldn't be allowed to marry.... libs all day
    noone tells you who to pray to, or to pray at all
    it's not your body if it's a baby you are killing
    2nd hand smoke affects me, too. Your poor choices are not mine....


    I get tired of nervous nellies voting, too.... :rolleyes: any other rights you want to control, or just the ones you don't choose to use


    agree

    I did not have sexual relations with that woman
    If you like your health insurance, you can keep your health insurance plan... period.
    I will close gitmo

    or do you only get upset when candidates you don't like lie. Personally, I hate when dems lie "open administration" just as much as when republicans lie "read my lips, no new taxes"


    I'm sick of people who claim scientists can't be bought off (global warming)


    like that gay movement really wants equality, and not actually wants MORE in order to get even for past sins of white Christian males.


    I'm sick of racial minorities who don't value education, have a community without male role models, who then refuse to work blaming whites for all their poor decisions.



    I'm sick of people who offer no valuable service, complaining that flipping burgers deserves more money, and taking it out of the pockets of those who offer services, and risk their own money to provide 50 jobs


    like forcing schools to allow crossdressers in opposite gender locker rooms....




    I'm sick and tired of people and groups co-opting the Constitution.

    Exactly. Yet we have led people to believe that they are entitled to make me pay for their mistakes.

    People who refuse to better themselves and believe they are entitled to a "living wage" just because they exist are always going to be at the bottom. And they'll have no one to blame but themselves.
