God bless America.
What would be amazing is an America where people have sex ONLY when they want to have children. Do you really believe most people have sex only in order to have children? SEX is a biological imperative, you know.

Right. They could turn down a job offer making minimum wage, but clearly they DON'T because they want to earn as much money as they can. Circumstances can "force" people to take jobs below their skill level and at minimum wage if that's all that's available out there. Many of those working poor are left with the option of applying for public assistance or having themselves and their family go hungry, etc. What would you do? Eat your pride to fill your empty stomach or apply for benefits?

Why don't they work for a company that will pay them more for the skills they can bring to the table? Oh, thats right, they don't have skills companies are willing to pay more for.

Isn't liking to eat why most people work?
