People that say you can live and go to college on 10/hr, most likely part time, must be kids. They have no idea what it's like out there.
you absolutely can live on $10 an hour, you can't be running aorund with an ipod, smoking ciggs, buying weed, going out to the bars. its a simple life. if you want more you have to work for it.
That's called communism. We live in a mixed market economy. The governments job is to keep it fair for all parties. Your post are very ignorant.
Huh? Communism? LMAO! So, in your mind, it's fair to raise one SUBSET of the population's wages to match COL, but not everyone's? You selfish.........The government's job has nothing to do with fairness in the wage market, YOU are the Communist here.

Part time? No you can't. Hell, try to live in the Northeast or Northwest on 10/hr full time. It's impossible.

Why am I a communist? Because I explained a how our economy work? Please explain. We are mixed market economy. What do you mean one subset? Explain....
You didn't explain anything. You threw out a sweeping generalization and expected the reader to accept it on its face.

ONE SUBSET! Minimum Wage workers. You obviously don't know how the economy works because you think one subset needs a raise to match the COL while others don't. It's ALL relative. If you raise up someone working a cash register 2-3x's, the person designing and programming those registers need to be raised up as well or you create a TRUE disparity in skill versus wage. Once you can earn a livable wage with having no skill sets that encroaches on the wage of a skilled wage, nobody will want to get skilled. That takes effort, time and money. Why do it if you don't have to?

In your world an unskilled burger flipper will be making more than a starting teacher in Texas with a BS degree.
That is some "mixed market" economy you got there.
I have compassion; when its called for. Its not here. These moron's protested, wanted more money, working at a sandwich shop? They got fired for it. Its the owners right to fire whom he/she see's fit, so long as its not due to race, religion, etc.
