I keep seeing articles about fast food employees being "forced" to rely on public assistance. seriously? if you are like me, you have probably worked for right around minimum wage. if you are more like me, you've never relied on any welfare. why does liberal media blame the employer for the horrific choices of the employee?

??? WTF???
Fast food employees generally don't get to work 40 hours a week. They work at the convenience of their employer and labor costs (along with all other costs) are tightly managed. A worker lucky enough to be scheduled 40 hours a week will be sent home early in a heartbeat when business gets slow.
And it's not the fast food workers in Podunk who are complaining, it's the workers living in high-cost places like New York and Seattle.

You were able to pay for housing, food and transportation on minimum wage? Where? Was it when minimum wage was equal to $9/hr in today's money?

Housing according to mr lyons is not a necessity or a need, I'll just bet min wage workers in the olden days just pitched a tent in the public park. <heavy > //www.city-data.com/forum/31981564-post289.html

You know, some things just are not "high value" and one of them is fast food.
I recall a conversation years ago with someone, who thought everyone should get an income - the SAME income. Because this person thought that we should all be free to live well, even if what we wanted to do was fingerpaint cardboard boxes.
I remember many years ago, reading a Nat Geo article about a mine. This mine had produced massively, but the amount compared to the ore was microscopic. The fact was, that even the miner's clothes eventually went through as ore, to extract even the most minute quantities - NOTHING went to waste.
The "it takes a village" is nonsense, in my view... however, "It takes a nation" is true... when you mean "It takes a nation to be a nation". That is, everyone, regardless of skill or value, should be productive. Some people's contributions will be very small, some large. But like the mine, when its all added up, it's very large. The fact is, that if we stopped prohibiting low value work, so that everyone worked, the total would be greater than it is now, and everyone would be better off.

Tell us more about when you worked for minimum wage, how old were you? How many family members did you have to take care of? What decade did you work minimum wage in? Many important questions need to be answered to better understand when you worked for minimum wage.
That's why the liberal philosophy is: "It's someone else's responsibility".
Just like the conservative philosophy: "It's not my problem." Even for problems the Cons create.
