In general Gen Y are spoiled brats. It's not all their fault though. I blame the school system more then anyone.

$10.50 per hour and the last was several years ago. Do you think some kid who doesn't know d*** is worth $20?

You're as bad as they are then.

Let's see, you do your trade during daytime hours, except in emergencies, that might mean the people you're stumbling over in basements might be working night shifts, right?

You personally check everyone's dossier.

I'm not saying that I support Obama 100%. But guess what? Americans ELECTED Obama TWICE just like how they elected Bush twice. Get over it. Apparently over half of the country thought Obama was the man for the job. Better luck next time.

Although these hysterical paranoid threads from right wingers never fail to bring a smile to my face so I can thank you for that.
Maybe if he could see Obama nude he would get over it.

Where did I say anything about $20/hr? I barely make more than that myself! I'm really disbelieving that kids were turning down $10.50 several years ago. That's about what my daughter was making at a day care back then.

You have to be willing to start for chump wages though. They are NOT.....

If you offered them $15 per hour, I bet they would turn it down. They have a "entitlement" complex.

Ha, believe it. It's cakewalk compared to what us guys have to do. Be glad to sent them up to the roof on a building downtown if they don't think so.......WHEN it's 5 degrees and or raining.

A graphic designer gets paid much more than you are indicating. The average yearly salary for a graphic designer is about $48,000 per year. That adds up to about $24 per hour.

I can only speak for myself and the people I know, such as relatives, friends, neighbors.

I was working at the start of 2008 but I and scores of other employees were laid off within weeks as the worst Recession since the Great Depression of 1929 hit. By spring of 2008 - G. W. Bush was in the White House, mind you - the unemployment rate was skyrocketing, and I was a part of that statistic.

Obama got into office, I and other colleagues who were laid off got jobs, and here we are.

My niece got married last year and she and her new husband bought a new home in Long Island.

Nearly everyone I know is working and getting on with their lives.

In 2008 I saw the market value of my properties drop, and then re-cover, and now they are on the rise again.

So I say to the OP ... go ahead and give voice to your hatred and contempt to anyone who might have voted for Obama - resort to name-calling such as "Sheeple" etc. - but frankly the rest of us are getting on with of lives, determining what our next home improvement project is going to be, planning our next vacation, and so on.

Another joker who thinks taking care of children is a piece of cake. I'd like to see you do it!
