Isn't that sad? Minimum wage jobs are supposed to be for teens and retired folks....not 36 year old adults. Why have they not improved their situation? Because they might lose their taxpayer funded "freebies"?
This is what happens when the government tries to supplement wages. They need to stop it. Those "unemployed" folks do not WANT to work....or they will lose their "benefits"...guess who is paying for their laziness? Yep....Me, and You and whoever else IS working, because we don't want to be at the mercy of the government and it's minimum wage jobs!
Folks need to get off the dole, work their asses off, and make something of themselves. Period.

Apparently you are unaware that people dont decide the wages at the low end. That people working DO in fact want to work.
I am unsure what reality you live in to be honest. A LOT of minimum wage jobs a hard jobs. They aren't being done by lazy people.
So...will YOU create these magical jobs for people?
What a misleading stat. The few people who actually make minimum wage tend to come from the youngest and oldest. A 15 year old paperboy and a 60 year old door greeter equals an "average age" of 37.
It's not hard - lighten up on corporate taxes... lighten up on regulations... and act like they what companies to do business in the country.
Start there.
Yes because that will actually work well because....
Oh wait.
Corporate taxes are actually amazing low...despite which more jobs haven't occur ed. So thats pretty blatantly wrong.
Regulations.....OK lets assume you are being common sense about this. Leave the environmental ones alone, but get rid of some of the dumb ones. Agreed with some reservations.
We are acting like we want to do business in this country...we've done that for so long that they've began to act like they own the country. Sorry, but no. While I can agree with some of this, the odds are the vast majority is foolishness that could be labeled as "bow down to your corporate overlords.....as if we weren't already!" That being said, provide some examples and try and convince me otherwise.

You can`t have free trade, massive regulation, powerful labor unions, high labor costs and the highest marginal corporate taxes in the industrialized world.
Most of Europe keeps marginal corporate tax rates at half what they are in the US.
All other things being the same, a company would be crazy to come to the US.
