Wow you sure are selfish. Why are you even posting in this thread if you do not want to help? We are a society that means we work together for everyone's good we do not live in a country where it is everyone for themselves thus social programs. It is not excuse it is just the truth that there are only x amount of higher jobs for people someone has to do the entry level jobs.

Both sides are right.
For your information, and future reference, I don't "spout", I "articulate".

For another thing, there is plenty to complain about as do-gooders, aka, the power-hungry control-freaks, are always interfering with market forces with such ill-advised schemes as the Minimum Wage,

Bunk, old bean, is Bunk, regardless of its author. If your eyes stink, perhaps you should see a doctor.

Sad that you think disagreeing with you and your "opinion" is being disagreeable, but it is what it is.

BTW, if was wholly obvious you didn't write it yourself, but only copied it as if it where your own words - no silly Hawaiian lingo.
